as Delhi Belly and Go Goa Gone, will be seen in a serious and dark
role in Tigmanshu
Duhlia's Revolver Rani and the actor says he wanted to test his own versatility.
The movie also features Kangana Ranaut
in the role of a gangster.
"Revolver Rani is a dark love story played between Kangana and me. It
is a spiral
and a very dark human and emotional
story. I just wanted to see if I could do it,"
Vir said on the sidelines of the
International Indian Film Academy (IIFA)
weekend and awards here.
He also has a love story in hand. It is titled Sooper Se Ooper. "It is
a romance story set in Rajasthan,"
said Vir, who recently announced that he
will write and produce a "high concept
comedy" movie with filmmaker Nikhil
Advani.
Vir, a popular stand-up comedian, says he
enjoys doing different things within the
comedy genre.
"To me, the trick is not how can I make
people laugh. It is, how can I make people
laugh in a different way. I share a good
rapport with my audience, but I can't
always do pathbreaking cinema. "You can't always do Delhi Belly and Go
Goa Gone! Sometimes you just have to jump into it," he said.
Also, Vir said a good comedy film can't be
average. "I think comedy is a double-edged sword.
A bad song you will either watch or won't
watch. But bad comedy can make you
want to commit murder. There's nothing
called okay comedy. It is either good or
bad. And that's more challenging," he said.
At IIFA, Vir has been busy promoting his
forthcoming comedy film Santa Banta with co-actor Boman Irani. He says
"it is just stupid comedy".
"This is my loudest performance till date,"
added the actor, who admits he had his
apprehensions about taking on the project. "It was one of those
projects which I was
oscillating back and forth. It is completely
against my image. Akashdeep's (director
Akashdeep Sabir) greatest strength was
that he got the right people in the room
together," he said.
