Mumbai, July 7 (NationPress) The trailer for Vir Das's forthcoming comedy special ‘Vir Das: Fool Volume’ was revealed on Monday. It showcases his distinctive mix of humor and emotion, addressing themes such as silence, self-doubt, and the pursuit of joy.
This special has been filmed in Mumbai, New York, and London, transforming it into a true cross-continental adventure.
Regarding his new special, Vir Das remarked, “This special is a journey across countries, cultures, and a whole lot of internal chaos. For me, comedy has always been more than just punchlines. It’s about connection. Whether you're in London, New York, or Mumbai, laughter sounds the same. This special is a celebration of that shared language of finding joy in the chaos, meaning in the absurd, and kindness in the noise. If someone watches it and feels a little lighter, a little more understood, or just laughs until their stomach hurts. That’s the magic I’m chasing.”
This is his fifth Netflix special, making him the first Indian comedian to achieve this milestone. Following global hits like ‘Abroad Understanding’, ‘Losing It’, ‘For India’, and his International Emmy-winning special ‘Landing’, each new special has further elevated Indian comedy on the global stage.
Tanya Bami, Series Head of Netflix India, stated, “It is always a joy to collaborate with Vir. His comedy is rooted yet presents his unique local perspective to audiences worldwide. He has been instrumental in putting Indian comedy on the global map, not only with his International Emmy but also with each special he curates for Netflix. Our journey with Vir has grown over the years, and collaborating on a fifth special is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of. Fool Volume is indeed special due to its personal nature, shedding light on the turbulence around silence for someone known for his voice, rendering it both profound and humorous.”
The comedy special is slated to premiere on June 18 on Netflix.
