'Dhobi Ghat Was A Game-Changer For Me,' - Prateik Babbar on 11 Years Of 'Dhobi Ghat'

Prateik Babbar debuted in Bollywood with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, produced by Aamir Khan Productions. After 3 years, his second film was also with the same production house, Dhobi Ghat. As the film clocks 11 years of its release today, we can't help but look back at the fantastic performance of Prateik Babbar as Munna. One film old, actor Pratiek Babbar, definitely showed improvement as an actor and wowed the critics by beautifully playing with the nuances of being Dhobi boy by day, rat killer by night and a wannabe actor in between.While celebrating 11 years of Dhobi Ghat, Prateik Babbar said, "Dhobi Ghat was a game-changer for me. Not only because it minted the fame that it did, but it also taught me a lot as an actor. There was a lot I could explore with my character, and it allowed me to learn more nuances of acting. I still can't believe it has been 11 years since the film. It feels surreal!"Released on 21st January 2011, Dhobi Ghat, directed by Kiran Rao, was produced by Aamir Khan. The film was a below average grosser at the box office due to its unconventional genre and no commercial values. However, it received great critical acclaim. The film had its world premiere in September 2010 at the Toronto international film festival. It was also long-listed for the 65th BAFTA awards in the 'Best Film Non-English' category.Meanwhile, Prateik Babbar is now gearing up for multiple projects, including Akshay Kumar starrer Bachchan Pandey, Four More Shots Please! Season 3, Woh Ladki Hain Kahaan with Taapsee Pannu and Pratik Gandhi, and Madhur Bhandarkar's India Lockdown.
