Vir Das's upcoming film Hasmukh stars the comedian as a reluctant killer who is forced to kill before he goes on the stage to perform. Now film producer Nikkhil Advani has said that Vir Das is one to watch. He said that Vir Das will be interesting to watch in Hasmukh. Das must deal with the dilemma related to killing a person in the upcoming film as he continues on with his career at the same time.
Speaking about the film, Advani said, "I think the audience will find it interesting to watch Vir in that avatar. No one can imagine Vir like that, because even in real life he is a stand-up comedian. He has acted really well. The story is of a reluctant killer. It is a fight between morals and ambitions."
Advani revealed that he wanted to work with Vir Das for a long time now. He added writing, "Vir and I always wanted to collaborate. He came up with the idea, and I suggested making the story a little darker. So, we developed the script accordingly. We have got a great casting with some of the finest actors. Things just fell in place nicely." Hasmukh releases on April 17.
Advani also said that the Coronavirus lockdown will definitely help the film's numbers on Netflix. He said, "It is a big advantage for us that the show is releasing now on Netflix, when people are sitting at home and consuming a lot of digital content. But, it was always meant to release at this point in time. It was planned to release in April.”
