“One of my close friends has been an assistant to Anvita, and even before I read the script, I wanted to do the film. I never had second thoughts about it and was ready to audition. It was the time baba had passed away, and I was broken and vulnerable. When I reached Clean Slate Filmz, they made me feel so safe,” he said.

“Babil may not remember, but I met him at a party when he was 14 and found him interesting. When we were auditioning for Jagan, we tested many boys. Some were very interesting, but we weren’t getting the right fit.

The friend that he mentioned casually asked whether I wanted to test Babil. I didn’t know he was into acting. I knew he was studying films and wanted to be a cinematographer. When I saw the audition, in just two lines, I knew he was Jagan. It was the first time he faced the camera, which could have been frightening. Babil was also coming from a sad place and kept his energy intact. He is genuinely a beautiful god’s child and has shined in the film,” she added.

Kaala is set in the early 1930s and will focus on the lives of musicians. Anvita Dutt said that the Netflix film will also talk about parenting and how it affects a person.
