MUMBAI, Aug 13: Actor and comedian Vir Das has completed filming for Baara Number, his upcoming psychological thriller that uses a found footage storytelling format.
Das announced the completion of the shoot while reflecting on the demanding experience of working on the project. He described the film as an intense undertaking, signalling a departure from the lighter entertainment associated with much of his comedy work.
The found footage approach is expected to give the thriller a distinctive visual style, with the narrative presented through footage that forms part of the story itself.
The project marks another step in Das’ expanding work across acting and filmmaking. His career has increasingly included projects beyond stand-up comedy, allowing him to explore darker and more dramatic material.
The makers are yet to reveal extensive details about the film’s storyline and release plans. With production now complete, attention is expected to shift towards post-production and the eventual release announcement.
The thriller adds another genre-focused project to Das’ growing screen portfolio and could offer audiences a different side of the performer.
