Vir Das Reveals Reason Behind Keeping No Cell Phone Policy On The Sets Of Happy Patel

Vir Das Reveals Reason Behind Keeping No Cell Phone Policy On The Sets Of Happy Patel
Vir Das has opened up about the decision he made while shooting for Happy Patel. The actor-comedian recently revealed that the sets of the film followed a strict no-cell phone policy, a move that he believes helped create a more productive work environment.
In a conversation with Mid-day, Vir Das revealed one policy he had followed during the shoot. “It is a tiny film, shot in 31 days. So, it was crucial to do this. We had six action sequences and 14 original pieces of music. We also had cameos from Aamir [Khan] and Imran [Khan]. We had to keep our costs down. The no-cell phone policy benefited us. We sped up shooting by one and a half times."
It's not just the film's screenplay that is counter-culture; its making also goes against the grain of the Hindi film industry, Das tells mid-day.
Vir Das on Happy Patel and His Directorial Debut
Actor-comedian Vir Das, who headlines Happy Patel, spoke about the film during the event, describing it as a fun, high-energy entertainer that stays true to the spirit of unconventional comedy audiences loved in Delhi Belly. The film marks Vir Das' directorial debut, adding another layer of excitement for fans who have followed his journey from stand-up stages to the big screen.
The nostalgic meet served as a bridge between the irreverent humour of Delhi Belly and the comic madness promised by Happy Patel, with Vir Das emerging as the common thread connecting both projects.
