Vir Das, who recently turned producer, has now joined hands with a Hollywood producer to produce an Indo-American project. Apparently, it’s a comedy which is said to have an ensemble cast, with a mix of Indian and American actors.

“Vir has been working internatio­nally which subsequent­ly developed into fruitful associatio­ns including an online special show and a TV series in the US in which he plays the lead. Beside, Vir was on a world tour for his show, where he performed across twenty six countries. The actor seemed to have formed internatio­nal connection­s owing to his growing fan base in the internatio­nal markets,” says a source.

Talking about being keen on exploring more internatio­nal work collaborat­ions, Vir says, “I think the world has never been smaller. I don’t think we need to classify things as Indian and foreign anymore. There are just good stories. And they want to be watched by everyone in the world. The online special was something Americans and Indians could sit on the same sofa and enjoy. There’s no reason we can’t do that with movies and fiction.” He adds, “The new project is still in the developmen­t stage. We’ve got a great story. Last year was a heavy touring year. This year is a heavy year acting wise. There will be movies, web series and shooting through the year. I’m going to be writing for at least one of the four or five projects this year.”
