It's a dog’s life but it's not bad!

Comedian-turned-actor Vir Das, who will be next seen in the Ajay Bhuyan-directed comedy Amit Sahni Ki List, had sent out a special request to his producers. While he could deal with the sweltering heat of May by resting in his vanity van, the actor insisted that his producers book an air-conditioned room exclusively dedicated to his co-star-a pug.

Revealed a source, "Yes, a room at Madh Island was reserved for the dog as it could not shoot for more than an hour in the heat and it needed those breaks. However, the same couldn't be arranged when the crew was outdoors."

Vir confirmed the news saying, "The treatment meted out to animals while shooting a movie is not always the best. I have a pet bulldog and understand how easily animals tire. I insisted the pug used in the film be kept in an air-conditioned area."

And what about the outdoor shoots? "Well, I had my AC vanity van which I shared with him whenever we were outside for long. The canine was the most taken care member in the unit. By the end of the shoot, I was almost jealous of the pug!" the actor laughed.
