Actor Vir Das, known for his comic timings plays an intense and serious role for the very first time in his career in the upcoming film 31st October, a thriller about a Sikh family trapped in a riot-prone area of New Delhi during the anti-Sikh riots in the aftermath of the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Vir, who will is the protagonist Devender Singh in the film, said, “I would say that Devender Singh was one of my toughest roles ever. The reason being that I am not a Sikh and I am not a father, so to portray the emotions of a Sikh father desperate to get his family to safety during riots and the decisions that he has to take as a father, was quite tough for me. However, I am thankful to the makers for believing that I could pull off such a role.”
Produced by writer-producer Harry Sachdeva and Magical Dreams Productions Pvt Ltd, co-produced by Anand Prakash, directed by National award winner Shivaji Lotan Patil, the film releases on October 7.
