So far he has put his funny side up, but now stand-up comedian-turned-actor Virr Das turns serious for Jaane Kyon and even shed a lot of weight to fit into the role in the 1984 riots-based movie. Set in the backdrop of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the film is a true story of a family who survived the riots on the night of Oct 31 that year. ‘My next film is a serious drama.
It is titled Jaane Kyon and its based on 1984 riots. I have shot half of it and now waiting for my beard to grow, so I can start shooting again,’ Virr said. So far he has done movies like Delhi Belly, Go Goa Gone as well as Revolver Rani, but for him Jaane Kyon is, ‘The toughest film so far because I had to lose weight and look much leaner for the film. I had lost nine kgs for the film.’
