The Kapil Sharma Starrer ‘Zwigato’ Premiers at International Film Festival

Nandita Das: Comedian Kapil Sharma is his new outing as the lead actor in the Nandita Das directorial ‘Zwigato’. We have been snacking on the laughter that Sharma has been serving successfully on television. In ‘Zwigato’,  Kapil’s character will be seen dealing with the world of digital ratings and incentives as a food delivery partner.

Zwigato tours Film Festival Circuit

The famous 27th International Film Festival of Kerala will host the Indian premiere of the Nandita Das-directed movie. On December 10th, it will be shown at the Kaleidoscope’s opening, and on December 13th, 2022, it will be shown once more.

Both the Busan International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival have already screened “Zwigato.”

‘Zwigato’, a bitter-sweet slice-of-life film

The film set in Odisha is a bittersweet tale of invisible ‘ordinary’ people.

Kapil is the lead in the film who plays an ex-floor manager in a factory. He loses his job like others during the pandemic. He then finally takes up a job as a food delivery partner.

Nandita Das: don’s the Director-Producer hat

Zwigato  is a joint production by Sameer Nair’s Applause Entertainment and Director Nandita Das’s Nandita Das Initiatives.

Nandita the film’s director said in an earlier post that  “Zwigato is finally ready!”

A story about new urban India that is not just about the gig economy, but also about everything  around us. I found the perfect producing partner in Sameer Nair to tell this simple yet complex slice-of-life film” as reported by ANI.

The film will see Shahana Goswami of ‘Rock On’ fame as Kapil Sharma’s. Playing a simple housewife her character too tries to find ways to support the household. This also brings a new feeling about independence.

Kapil Sharma has not seen much success with his film career. Will his collaboration with the cerebral director Nandita Das be the lucky charm he is looking for?
