Hasmukh trailer: Vir Das is a ‘killer comedian’ in this Netflix original

The official description of the ten-episode series reads, “What happens when an aspiring comedian realises that committing murder is the only way to keep his onstage mojo?”

Talking about Hasmukh, Vir Das said, “I am back on screen playing a strange and unusual character, so I am excited. He is super awkward, soft-spoken, always mild…until he murders or gets on stage. Stand-up comedians will relate to Hasmukh’s journey. Well, most of it at least. We are all looking for innovative ways to make people laugh, but this guy takes it to the next level.”
