Vir Das: Sunny Leone Is Legitimately Very Funny

At a press conference for Mastizaade, actor Vir Das revealed that he wouldn’t have been part of the film if Sunny Leone was not involved in it. He explained, “What I enjoyed the most working with Sunny is that she hasn't done comedy till now but she is genuinely very funny. Our track gave us the chance to do a lot of really cool comedy”.

“And after watching the film, that's what you'll talk about... that she is legitimately very funny. I would not have done this film if any other actress was on board”, the comedian turned actor added. Vir also feels that Sunny is a strong actor. He is not bothered by Sunny having more fans than him for which he said, “I don't think about these things. I'm a pretty secure guy in my fan base and talent. The reason I did the film is because I like being opposite a strong actor with a presence. Being opposite a huge star is a cool thing”.

The actor is quite satisfied with how the film came together. He said, “I love comedy, comedy is my life. But I haven't done this genre of comedy before. I've never done a commercial masala film. And I've been waiting since years for that perfect package - good script, actress, director - this came together very nicely”.
