Babil Khan talked about his working experience on Logout

Talking about his working experience in the movie, Babil shared with News18, that it was a challenging movie for him. Sharing the same, he revealed that for other movies, he depends on his co-actors and feeds off their energy, mainly, what he does in the movies is react, but in this particular film, he had to act, with co-stars being limited gadgets. Babil Khan can be quoted as saying:

"It was very challenging for me because I really depend on my co-actors. I feed off their energy and the environment including the props. But in this case, there was nothing around me. For the first time, I had to act. Before Logout, in all other films, I would only react. Reacting used to be acting for me. But this film taught me the craft of it."

Babil Khan, in the same interview, revealed that he had to trust his imagination and himself to act in Logout, as he couldn't interact with co-stars, and he needed to be self-conscious to work on such a project. Talking about the plot of the movie, Babil mentioned that he used to be very judgmental and curious about people being obsessed with social media, and he never could get the idea of people losing themselves in the process to get validation, and he finally could crack down the code while working on Logout. In Babil Khan's words:

"I wanted to know why people are obsessed with these things and what’s the motivator that pushes them to surrender their entire lives, individuality, self-worth and authenticity to the dopamine release stemming from a like and the validation that’s externally coming from a platform that doesn’t really exist in a sense. I wanted to understand how one’s self-worth gets lost with validation becoming more important, and Logout gave me the chance."
