Comedian Kapil Sharma revealed at Zwigato’s trailer launch event why director Nandita Das cast him and not another big star like Shah Rukh Khan.
Speaking at the trailer launch event, Kapil said: “I asked him, ‘Why me?’ I didn’t know whether to take his answer as a compliment or an insult. He replied, ‘Even if global star Shah Rukh Khan agreed to do the film, I wouldn’t take him, but you. Chosen because your face is so ordinary, it can fit anywhere in the crowd’.
He further revealed that the story of the film is very close and connected to him.
“I used to work at Coca-Cola. When we first came to Mumbai, we all did small jobs here and there. The products were transported in trucks. There were no apps then. But, when Nandita ma’am had me. Come and tell me what difficulties the delivery boys face, so I can relate to the story a lot, added the actor.
The plot of Zwigato revolves around a delivery boy named Manas. Played by Kapil Sharma. It also stars Shahana Goswami, who plays Kapil’s wife in the film.
Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma has just debuted as a singer with Guru Randhawa. The duo collaborated for a single, reports JEE News.
