September has marked two important milestones for artist Prabh Deep - he released a power-packed mixtape called DSP that proved to desi hip-hop he's very much a rapper and also made his acting debut in the JioCinema series Khalbali Records.

In the latter, he plays an artist named Mauj, whose life and death drives a strong-headed music producer (portrayed by Skand Sanjeev Thakur) to rebel against his father's (starring Ram Kapoor) long-established record label business. Khalbali Records is directed by Devanshu Singh and even includes roles featuring Indian rappers like Epr Iyer, Yungsta, Agsy and Ahmer, among others.

For Prabh Deep, it was a chance to continue his love for the camera, whether in front of it or behind it. "I think I've been manifesting it [acting] for a while and it finally came through," he says. Prabh says the director Singh was inspired by his 2021 album Tabia while developing the series.
