MUMBAI: Actor-comedian Vir Das does not shy away from talking his mind and his recent video is getting him all the laud once again. Since the nepotism debate has stirred up a storm on social media, Vir Das is among the very few who has voiced out his opinion on the matter. Now, after Vir Das shares a video titled ‘equality in the entertainment industry’ enacting the role of a regular hypocrite star, Manoj Bajpayee and Hansal Mehta re-tweet the video on their timeline as reported by Spotboye.

Posting on his official Twitter handle, Vir Das tweeted a video and wrote, “Equality in the entertainment industry.” The video features Vir Das himself playing the character of a big movie star and his behavior. The video begins with Vir Das on the phone, having an argument with someone over the phone on how he(the character of a movie star) doesn’t care how many Filmfare awards the particular writer has won, but throws tantrums of wanting a line in his dialogue changed. The comedian moves on to demand the person over the phone to ask the film director to wait outside his vanity van and further mentions that he does not want a third or fourth assistant director outside.
While on the phone, Vir Das, still in the character of a movie star, bosses around, asking the spot boy for some refreshments. He also talks about replacing a female co-star as he does not find her pretty enough and keeps nagging how he is the one who decides who plays the heroine. Moving on, in a shocking turn of events, Vir Das tells the person on call to hold on so he can make a video for the internet. Calling out hypocrisy, Vir Das continues, “Hey guys, Nepotism is terrible. There should be equality in actors at all times.” As Vir Das shared the alarming video on Twitter, agreeing to the actor, filmmaker Hansal Mehta and actor Manoj Bajpayee re-tweeted the video and shared it on their timeline.
