My personal favorite is Woody Allen, who is just amazing as a comedian. Vir Das allenamazecomedian Change image and share on social
It's very important to not repeat yourself. After 'Delhi Belly,' I was offered 40 'Delhi Belly's and you can't do that! So 'Revolver Rani' is dark and gritty with action, 'Sooper Se Oopar' is a big commercial love story, 'Santa Banta' is a 'theth' Punjabi comedy, 'Golu Aur Pappu' is a kids' film and 'Amit Sahni Ki List' is an urban romcom.

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error. Vir Das albumartaudience share on social
I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night. Vir Das actorcomediannight Change image and share on social
A lot of people do comedy about India, but they're not from India. It's a Kwik-E-Mart perspective. I want to provide a genuine view and maybe one on how we see the West. Vir Das comedygenuineindia Change image and share on social
If you are known to do something well, people want to see you do that. But what you choose to do is up to you. After 'Delhi Belly,' I got some 40 scripts - some on the same lines as 'Delhi Belly.' So, I guess people only get stereotyped if they want to. Vir Das bellychoosedelhi share on social
Anybody with a sharp brain and a mic can become a comedian, but there's a need to move beyond it. The audience wants to witness the marriage of theatre, comedy and something more. Vir Das audiencebraincomedian Change image and share on social
I wouldn't call myself successful, just obsessively exhausted. The music makes me smile, the movies make me feel humbled, and the comedy saves my life every day. Vir Das callcomedyday Change image and share on social
Stand-up comedy is a lot about amplifying emotions and situations; movie acting has a lot to do with mellowing things down and making them subtle. The transition was almost terrifying because of the magnitude of change. Vir Das actamplifychange share on social
You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in. Vir Das carryfilmhard Change image and share on social
