Vir Das To Make A Comeback To Films 10 Years After Kangana Ranaut's Revolver, To Star In An Actioner

Emmy Award-winning comedian Vir Das is all set to make a comeback in the movies. Vir, who was last seen in the 2014 film Revolver Rani with Kangana Ranaut, is all set to venture into the genre of an upcoming action film. 

Talking about his upcoming project, Vir shared, “I’ve always believed in challenging myself and exploring new horizons. Comedy will always be my first love, but the thrill of stepping into the action genre is a whole new adventure. The prep is intense, and I am diving headfirst into this exciting project. I can’t wait to bring something fresh and exhilarating to the audience.” An India Today report quoted him.

Reportedly, the untitled action entertainer is currently in its pre-production stage. Vir would be playing the lead role in the film, which is expected to go on floors in mid-2024.

Earlier last year, Vir Das was awarded the Emmy Award for Comedy at the International Emmy Awards 2023. The comedian won the award for his popular Netflix special, Vir Das: Landing. The comedian shared the award with Derry Girls Season 3. Both titles were nominated alongside France’s Le Flambeau and Argentina’s El Encargado.

Speaking about his win, Vir said, “This moment is truly surreal—an incredible honor that feels like a dream. Winning an Emmy for ‘Vir Das: Landing’ in the ‘Comedy Category’ is not just a milestone for me but for Indian comedy as a whole. It’s heartening to see ‘Vir Das: Landing’ resonate globally, thanks to Netflix, Akash Sharma, and Reg Tigerman, who made it special. My journey from crafting local stories to receiving a global accolade has been both challenging and rewarding, and Netflix has been instrumental in that growth. I’m excited about the continued exploration of diverse narratives, from Noida to the International Emmys—India gets you there.”
