In a conversation with ANI, Babil discussed his character in the film and the roles he is willing to play in his upcoming projects.

"After playing the character, I realised how much a social media influencer has to deal with. It is not about the phone or social media, but how you use it matters."

Babil, who made his debut with Anvita Dutt's film 'Qala' and was also seen in Netflix's web show 'The Railway Men', opened up about the kind of project he is willing to take on.

"I want to do a sports biopic and play a rockstar," he added.

On speaking about the film, director Amit Golani said, "It is mainly a story about what happens in today's time when a person's phone is lost. As Babil's character is a social media influencer, he is more dependent on his phone, and this is what happens when his phone is lost."

He added on why he decided to cast Babil for the project, "We did auditions and really liked his skill and sincerity. The way he was excited about his role after reading the script really impressed me."

The makers of the film unveiled the trailer on Tuesday and announced the release date of the movie.

It shows Babil Khan's character, Pratyush, as a popular influencer with a huge fanbase. He is shown as someone completely lost in his phone and never cares about his surroundings. However, things change in his life as he loses his phone and his career is in danger.

Check out the trailer.

The trailer looks so intriguing! Babil is really carving his own path while honoring his father's legacy. Can't wait to see how he portrays the influencer struggle - it's such a relevant topic today. 👏

Interesting concept but I hope they don't oversimplify the social media addiction angle. These stories often become too preachy. That said, Babil's acting in The Railway Men was superb so I'll give it a shot.

Omg the premise is so relatable! Who hasn't panicked when they couldn't find their phone? 😅 Babil seems perfect for this role - he's got that intense yet vulnerable quality. Marking my calendar for April 18!

Respectfully, I wish they'd chosen a more original title. "Logout" feels a bit on-the-nose for this theme. But the cast looks solid and the director's previous work was good, so I'll reserve judgment until watching.

Babil wanting to do a sports biopic and play a rockstar? Yes please! He's got the range for both. Also love that he's choosing such diverse projects early in his career instead of just commercial films.

The supporting cast is fire! Rasika Dugal always delivers. Curious to see how they balance the comedy and drama elements - the trailer hints at both. Smart move releasing on ZEE5 too, perfect for this kind of content.
