Vir Das Reveals His Inspiration Behind His Character In Netflix’s New Show ‘Hasmukh’

Actor-comedian Vir Das has shared how his character in the upcoming web series, “Hasmukh” came to life on screen.

“‘Hasmukh‘ is a purely fictional tale. But every fictional story is founded in some wild imagination. As the writer, that’s what I have applied here. One can never imagine looking at Amol Palekar on screen and say that he can have a dark side. His on-screen characters are so affable and endearing. Hasmukh is similar,” Vir said.

“I have tried to tap into the innocence of these legendary actors. Another inspiration for me was Peter Sellers whose comic timing I am big fan of,” he added.

The series follows the journey of a young man from Saharanpur who wants to be the greatest comedian in the world. While he is a great writer, he lacks comic timing. It is a story of untamed ambition.
