Vir Das - Double Dhamaka

India’s largest selling comedy team is back! Inexplicable comedy will get redefined in theatre this season as stand-up star and film actor Vir Das joins hands again with the celebrated theatre production house, Ashvin Gidwani Productions for a new theatrical inning titled ‘Battle Of Da Sexes’.

Vir's new performance will focus on a scientific chronology of the age long struggle between men and women. The performance will be unveiled to the public on the 7^th of September 2013 at Tata NCPA theatre.

Interestingly Vir will be donning a brand new avatar for the very first time where he will depict a man and a woman at the very same time. There are many firsts to this play as Vir Das has written the script of the entire play himself which will feature an edgy rap number composed by him as well. For the preparations of the play, Vir Das locked himself for days together in a villa in Goa to perfect his delivery without committing any dates for his upcoming films.  Apart from rehearsals, Vir has been spending a lot of his time at spas, luncheons, shopping malls, kitty parties, zumba classes giving the pretty ladies company and secretly dissecting the female fatale psyche for his upcoming play.
The producer of the play, Ashvin Gidwani expects this upcoming play to be a rage amongst Vir's fans. He says, “Vir’s character will undergo a complete metamorphosis through a journey of contrasts and comic capers with the new show. The characters and the plot put together lends to a truly new age comedy. I can't wait to host the first public show. Watching Vir Das’ transition from a comedian to an actor, is impressive, to say the least. After a series of houseful performances,  'History Of India' still runs to packed auditoriums. It has been titled the largest selling comedy show ever.”
With plays such as ‘Walking On Broken Das’ and ‘History Of India’ and movies such as 'Delhi Belly' and 'Go, Goa, Gone', Vir has mastered the art of taking the comic genre to another level, making him the undisputed king of stand-up comedy in the country.

The versatile actor who has 6 film releases lined up for the next 15 months is on a perpetual high these days. Here’s wishing the true performer well.
