Happy Birthday Babbal Rai! Here's how the actor is making it big in Punjabi cinema

Punjabi singer-actor Babbal Rai is one of the much loved artists of the industry. In the past few years, Babbal was more focused on his music, but things seem different now. The artist’s schedule is now more packed with movie shootings, releases, promotions, than songs. And today, as Babbal Rai has turned a year older, we have taken a minute to analyze how this singer turned actor is making it big in Punjabi cinema.

Babbal Rai made his debut in Pollywood in 2013 with ‘Singh Vs Kaur’, wherein he was seen doing a cameo. Thereafter in 2014 he made his debut as a protagonist with ‘Mr & Mrs 420’; followed by ‘Sargi’ in 2017. After that the singer actor took a little break, only to make a comeback with a bang. In 2019 he made it back on the big screen with ‘Ardaas Karaan’. He was seen in a small yet pivotal character, which fetched him a lot of appreciation. Also, his decision of choosing a content based project to mark his comeback, was equally appreciated by one and all.

Babbal Rai is one of the millennial stars who understand the worth of content and how important it is for an actor to play a character that has substance in it. Thus, instead of running after lead roles, Babbal Rai is more focused on doing characters that hold worth, substance and are crafted in a way that they leave an impact on the audience.

As aforementioned, Babbal Rai is looking for content based characters and with this is open to present his versatility on the screen. A proof of the same is his character as ‘Taqdeer’ in the upcoming movie ‘Maa’. For the first time Babbal Rai will be seen playing a sportsperson on the big screen with this movie. And in order to get into the skin of this character, he did a lot of physical training, went on a strict diet and finally achieved the milestone.

In ‘Ardaas Karaan’, Babbal Rai’s character oozed essences of the bygone era, which was completely opposite to how the artist is in real life. Thereafter, in his last release ‘Ik Sandhu Hunda Si’, he flaunted off his uber cool style and gave men fashion goals. And now in his upcoming movie ‘Posti’, he again will be seen as a very decent village based boy, who carries his turban with pride. Last but not the least, for his other project ‘Maa’, he will be sporting an athletic physique. Seems like Babbal Rai is simply open to transform himself as his character demands, and this indeed is one of the great qualities of a quality actor.
