Das to turn hacker for his next film

Actor-comedian Vir Das will be portraying the role of a computer hacker and coder in his upcoming film Plan B.

The Revolver Rani star will be taking lessons in coding from professional hackers.

“I will be spending some time with some serious coders and hackers. There’s a specific mindset and discipline to these people that I want to be able to depict.

“They are the perfect combination of focus and chill at the same time. I need to be able to handle equipment and the scenes the way they would. We are thinking of having a few on set as well,” Vir said in a statement.

Produced by V Motion Pictures and directed by Harish Raut, the movie also stars Hate Story 2 star Surveen Chawla. The film is slated to release next year. Besides Plan B, Vir will be next seen in Santa Banta and Mastizaade.
