The film had its world premiere at the New York Indian Film Festival in 2005. It was also screened at the International Film Festival of India. Reportedly, the movie's theatrical release in India was cancelled due to technical and legal issues.
Irrfan Khan left for heavenly abode on April 29, 2020, after a long battle with cancer. He was 53 when he breathed his last.
The late actor is widely known for his work in some of the most critically acclaimed films like 'The Lunchbox', 'Hindi Medium', 'Life Of Pi', 'Piku', and 'The Namesake', among many more.
Like his father, Babil also aspires to be an actor. Earlier this week, he announced that he is dropping out of college to shift his focus to acting. In a long Instagram post, he bid adieu to his college and his friends. Babil was studying at the University of Westminster.
For the unversed, Babil is set to make his acting debut with Netflix's 'Qala'. A few days ago, he also revealed that he is a part of filmmaker Shoojit Sircar's upcoming project.
