Stand-up takes time, so when I act it must be an interesting role

<p>
Stand-up star and occasional actor Vir Das has a clear-cut strategy when it comes to balancing his two flourishing careers. "I have to balance both careers. Stand-up (comedy) takes time, so when I act that should be an interesting role," he said, revealing that was the reason which kept him away from films in 2020.</p>

As an actor, Vir is known for his work in Bollywood films like <em>Delhi Belly</em>, Go Goa Gone, Mastizaade, Badmaash Company. Last year, he also starred in the black comedy web series Hasmukh.</p>

"I think ‘Hasmukh’ was an interesting thing to pursue because a film takes a long time. For me, it's about finding a good character and telling a good story," he said.</p>

Last month, Vir dropped his latest new comedy gig, "Outside In", created out of 30 virtual shows he did during lockdown and featuring audiences from all over the world.</p>
