Did You Know That Manish Paul’s Debut Film Was Under Government Scanner But For A Good Reason?

He has been the designated funny man of television and is probably one of the best hosts that Indian television has ever produced. Yes, we are talking about none other than our favorite Manish Paul.

Manish whose journey started from a middle-class family of Delhi has managed to carve a niche for himself in the showbiz. He has been a part of soaps like Choona Hai Asmaan and Ghost Bana Dost, but his true talents came to light when he started hosting shows like Comedy Circus, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Chhotey Ustaad and more importantly Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Soon he became a known face on the television and Bollywood came calling.

Manish made his Bollywood debut with the film Mickey Virus opposite Elli Avram. The film was mostly in talks because this was the first time the actress of a film was in Bigg Boss during the promotion and release of the film. However, it was in news for another important reason as well.

While most tech-oriented films in India are criticized for factual and technical inaccuracies, Mickey Virus ran into trouble for being too accurate. The film where Manish Paul played the role of a gifted but lazy hacker showed in great detail and with proper accuracy how hackers actually rob people and banks. The film came under the scanner of government agencies who were worried about people using this information to actually commit cyber crimes and especially robberies.
