In a surprising turn of events, Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan recently re-installed Instagram just to express his admiration for Vir Das's latest Netflix stand-up special, "Fool Volume". Roshan declared it "the best stand-up show ever". His unexpected online activity and enthusiastic praise have generated buzz and highlighted the growing appreciation for Das's bold and thought-provoking comedy.
Roshan's Instagram post read, "Had to re-install Instagram cause I had to say this. Vir Das' Fool Volume has got to be the best stand-up show ever". This public commendation underscores Roshan's support for artists who push boundaries and offer unique perspectives.
Vir Das, already celebrated for his global successes like "Abroad Understanding," "Losing It," "For India," and the International Emmy-winning special "Landing," has consistently propelled Indian comedy onto the world stage. "Fool Volume," which premiered on Netflix on July 18th, has garnered widespread acclaim for its fearless humor and cultural introspection, solidifying Das's position as a prominent global voice in comedy. This special marks Das's fifth Netflix special, making him the first Indian comedian to achieve this milestone.
"Fool Volume" was filmed across Mumbai, New York, and London. The special blends introspection with satire and has been lauded for its fearless exploration of identity, politics, and the absurdities of everyday life. It delves into themes of silence, uncertainty, and rediscovering joy. According to reports, Das almost lost his voice weeks before shooting, which led him to create his most self-conscious work to date.
Das responded to Roshan's praise with gratitude, posting, "day, month, year, life made. Thank you Hrithik for always shining light and for always being amazing. Thank you thank you @hrithikroshan I admire you so much".
Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan has wrapped up filming for "War 2". He is also preparing for "Krrish 4", where he will reprise his role as the iconic Bollywood superhero.
