Kapil Sharma’s role in Bank-Chor is unlike stereotypical comedian
Stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma, who is ready to make a film debut with Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) Bank-Chor, says his role in the movie defies the stereotypical portrayal of a comedian. The 32-year-old has signed a three-film contract with YRF. Bank-Chor will be produced under the production banner’s Youth Films Division Y-Films, which made Mere Dad Ki Maruti.
“The script is the most exciting part since it’s the kind of role that’s very unlike the stereotype of a comedian or what people could typecast me as,” Kapil said. He says that he has already started “working on the nuances of the character”. “I’ve always loved and watched thrillers and this is a thriller comedy, so it's even better,” said the star comedian, who has become a rage courtesy his hit chat show Comedy Nights With Kapil.
He is excited about turning over a new leaf with the movie. “I’ve done serious theatre for years before comedy. Finally with YRF’s vision, I’ll get to do this again after a 12-year break and this script has equal scope of comedy,” he said. Bank-Chor is directed by Bumpy.
