Sometimes he looks like Irrfan Khan from his NSD days – Sanjay Mishra on Babil Khan

Actor Sanjay Mishra recently heaped praises on Babil Khan during a chat show while promoting his recently released film Vadh 2. Talking about Irrfan Khan’s son, Mishra made a comparison that stood out and praised the young actor, comparing him to his late legendary father.

Speaking on the show, Sanjay Mishra said, “Bada cute lagta Hain yaar. Kabhi Kabar lagta Hain young Irrfan Bhai, NSD wale (He is very cute. Sometimes it feels like he is a young Irrfan, from his NSD days)”.

Irrfan Khan remains one of the most respected actors India has produced, and his early years at the National School of Drama are often remembered for the sincerity and depth he brought to his work.

Meanwhile, talking of Sanjay Mishra, he was recently seen in Vadh 2 with Neena Gupta. The film deepens the moral universe introduced in Vadh (2022), echoing its predecessor while confidently standing on its own. It revolves around Shambhunath “Shambhu” Mishra (Sanjay Mishra) and Manju (Neena Gupta), retaining their names but reimagining their lives in a striking role reversal.

Filmfare’s reviewer gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, “What elevates Vadh 2, however, is its emotional core. Who says romance is the preserve of the young? The love story between a middle-aged prisoner and a policeman, conducted through whispered conversations, a loose stone in the wall and stolen moments, is tender, restrained and deeply moving. It doesn’t need physicality to feel intimate. This understated chemistry between Neena Gupta and Sanjay Mishra becomes the film’s quiet triumph, often overshadowing the murder mystery itself.”

Babil Khan, on the other hand, was last seen in the 2025 film Logout.
