Stand-up comedianturned-actor Vir Das currently has as many as six films on his platter. From dark comedy and romcom to his first action drama, he has a mixed bunch of films lined up.
“There is going to be a lot of variety. I will start the year with my comedy festival Weirdass Pajama Nights, which will see 75 other comedians joining me. We will hold 100 shows across Mumbai. Along with this, I also have an interesting lineup of films,” he says.
About the movies, he says, “The first film is Shaadi Ke Side Effects, which will be followed by Revolver Rani. I’m more excited about the latter, as the audience may not like my character. There’s also Khanna Patel, where I act alongside Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal. In the rom-com Amit Sahni Ki List, I have 12 girls for company. Soon, I’ll also begin shooting for a film called Saxxx Ki Dukaan, which the Delhi Belly audience will enjoy.”
Vir is equally excited about the theatre shows. He elaborates, “The idea struck me when I started thinking what people would do when they’re at home in their pajamas. So, if they’re into sports, then there’s Good Sports, that will look at the nation’s top sporting events with a comic touch. If one likes news channels, there’s Nation In Mourning, which will be a live mocking of that day’s newspapers. The Tandoor will be our own desi roast, where we will grill Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak. And then there’s Masterfull, a stand-up comedy show, which will see Papa CJ and me teaming up for the first time.”
