Irrfan Khan’s Son Babil Khan Announces His Late Father’s Film Dubai Return's Release Date On YouTube
Irrfan Khan’s film Dubai Return which was made in 2005 never got released. Now, his son Babil Khan announces that the film will be ‘releasing tomorrow on YouTube!’
Veteran actor Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, after battling cancer for years. Even though the actor is no more between us, cinema has kept him alive, all thanks to his diverse films and incredible work that he has starred in over the years. Speaking of which, now, his film, Dubai Return which was made in 2005 will be releasing tomorrow at the 2021 virtual Bandra Film Festival. Helmed by Aditya Bhattacharya, the film never got to see the light of the day due to several reasons. The film was screened at IFFI (International Film Festival of India) in 2005 but could not attain a theatrical release.
However, his son Babil Khan took to his Instagram today and announced that Dubai Return will be ‘releasing tomorrow on YouTube!’ It is reported the movie will be screened on BFF’s YouTube channel. He even shared the 2005 movie poster and fans are psyched to see his film. Pooja Kohli, artistic director at BFF spoke about screening Dubai Return and said to TOI, “Aseem and I have been partners in crime since our days together at the 2006 New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF). A few days ago, we talked about our favourite films from years past that we should showcase and he mentioned some fantastic titles, including Aditya's Dubai Return, starring the irreplaceable Irrfan. I am thrilled that he is coming on board as an advisory board member of the Bandra Film Festival, so we can continue to bring the best of cinema to everyone.”
Meanwhile, earlier, Irrfan Khan's last film The Song Of Scorpions was also released last year. SpotboyE.com had reviewed the film and gave 3.5 stars to the film.
