concept comedies with filmmaker Nikhil
Advani. He believes the genre is the
"flavour of the season".
"If you have the right team and ideas, you
can make any kind of film. And when it
comes to high concept comedies, I feel
they are the flavour of the season," said
Vir.
The actor, who featured in Delhi Bellyand Go Goa Gone, is making the
movies under his production banner Weirdass
Productions in collaboration with Advani's
Emmay Entertainment.
"It all happened over breakfast,"
recounted Advani of his meeting with Vir
on the project. "I wanted to rope in Vir to feature in the
video of the song, Duma dum (D-Day ) because I loved the way he danced
in Jaa chudail(Delhi Belly ). So he came in, heard the song, loved it
but said that he didn't
have dates," he added.
The duo then discussed three scripts in the
span of one-and-a-half hours.
"He told me that while one is crazy,
another is mad and the third one is stupid.
I'm amazed how he comes up with such
crazy ideas. (But) As of now we are going
ahead with the 'stupid' story," said Advani.
The duo plan to make the other two films
after wrapping up the first one.
Vir will play one of the leads in the film,
which is likely to go on floors in January
next year. "The story is about three young people and
their discovery of life," said Advani.
Meanwhile, Vir says that after "working
hard at charting out a career as a comedic
leading man", the "time just seemed right
to start developing my own work and
making the kind of cinema I enjoy". He hopes to produce more movies as well
with "like-minded people".
"I feel like I share a great relationship
with my audience where they trust my
judgement and choice of films and sense
of comedy. So trust me when I say the next
year is going to be incredibly exciting. I'm
just getting started, it's gonna get crazier," added Vir.
