MUMBAI: Netflix’s ‘Hasmukh', a dark comedy about a comedian who is also a serial killer, was partially produced by Vir Das. This show, where Hasmukh realises that the only way to ace his onstage performances was to kill people, was a complete success , so Vir Das has decided to continue his production game!
As per reports, the actor will be developing several projects under his own banner ‘Weirdass Comedy’ exclusively for various over-the-top (OTT) platforms. Weirdass Comedy’ is a wordplay (a witty way of using words specially for amusement purpose) on his own name Vir Das and is his comedy consultancy.
Das’ production house is planning, scripting and casting for seven shows, movies and podcasts across platforms for this year alone. He said that only one of these projects will feature him and he will merely play the creative producer for the remaining six.

A few of the projects areas follows.
1. Mahila Canteen- An all women political comedy show.
