Where there is Vir Das, there is always a joke a minute, an auditorium full of laughs. And sometimes, even an Emmy win. But the comic knows only too well that for an artiste to keep thriving, he has to be creatively adventurous. That’s why Das, who is on a high after his International Emmy win last year for Landing (2022), is now exploring a new territory. He is set to front a yet-untitled action thriller that will go on floors mid-2024.
Sources say he was approached for the movie late last year. The actor-comic was game to try his hand at the action genre, after having largely featured in comedy or rom-coms. A source reveals, “From Delhi Belly [2011] to Go Goa Gone [2013], people have mostly associated Vir with comedies. But he has tried to break the perception, even trying his hand at a satire like Hasmukh [2020] or being part of Shivaay [2016]. When this high-octane thriller came his way, he was excited about the opportunity to explore a different facet of him.”
