Eken Babu's Hindi Debut: A Detective's New Language

The popular Bengali detective series, Eken Babu, is now set to captivate a wider audience with its Hindi debut. Actor Anirban Chakrabarti, who has embodied the character since 2018, believes this expansion is a natural progression. He notes that a significant portion of the audience already engages with the show through English subtitles, making the Hindi version more accessible. Chakrabarti has been dedicated to keeping the portrayal of Eken Babu engaging over the past seven years.

To combat potential monotony, Chakrabarti actively seeks out diverse roles in films and web shows, spanning genres from grey and negative characters to comedy and emotional performances. This variety helps him maintain freshness in his detective role. He also observes that the character of Eken Babu continues to reveal new facets, especially when viewed chronologically, showcasing a clear evolution.
