As India’s biggest stand-up comedian and a Bollywood star, Vir Das has now crossed over to become a global comedy sensation, filling an international vacancy for an authentic Indian perspective. Vir was the first comedian from India to have a stand-up special on Netflix, which since resulted in a multi-special deal with the platform for them to be the exclusive distributor of his stand-up.

Outside of his Bollywood films, Vir has been seen as an actor in the ABC spy dramedy Whiskey Cavalier, the ABC sitcom Fresh Off the Boat, and the Netflix series Hasmokh, which Vir created and executive produced.
