ZEE5 is set to premiere Logout, a compelling thriller that sheds light on the dangers of digital addiction, with Babil Khan leading the charge. Directed by Amit Golani and penned by Biswapati Sarkar, the film is poised to captivate audiences with its gripping suspense and poignant commentary on the modern digital age.
Logout will debut on ZEE5 on April 18th, 2025, and has already earned significant praise on the international festival circuit, being showcased at prestigious events like the 21st Indian Film Festival Stuttgart 2024, the Mal Del Plata 2024, the Indian Film Festival Melbourne 2024, and the River to River Florence Indian Film Festival 2024.
The plot follows Pratyush (Babil Khan), a 26-year-old social media influencer whose life takes a dark turn as he nears the milestone of 10 million followers. His seemingly perfect world is shattered when a fan becomes obsessively fixated on him, dragging him into a chilling game that threatens his personal and professional life. Through Pratyush’s story, Logout explores the increasingly invasive role of smartphones and social media in our lives, tapping into the modern-day struggle of digital dependence that many can relate to.
Director Amit Golani expressed his excitement, stating, "Directing Logout has been an immensely rewarding journey. The film delves into our complex relationship with the digital world and the unsettling reality of becoming overly dependent on smartphones. Babil has done an incredible job portraying the intensity of this experience, bringing his character to life in a raw, authentic way."
Writer Biswapati Sarkar added, "The concept of being trapped in a digital world with no escape resonates deeply with the anxieties of our everyday lives. I hope Logout encourages viewers to reflect on their own digital habits."
Babil Khan, sharing his experience of playing the role of Pratyush, said, "This character pushed me out of my comfort zone. The role has given me a chance to explore the darker side of digital fame, and I can’t wait for audiences to see the intense, fast-paced thriller we’ve created."
