Vir Das Wraps ‘Baara Number’, Says “Directing Is Hard”

MUMBAI-Actor-comedian and filmmaker Vir Das has wrapped up the shoot of his upcoming horror film ‘Baara Number’, marking the completion of a challenging four-month directorial journey that he described as an intense, DIY experience with a determined cast and crew.

He shared a series of images featuring the cast and crew of the film from the shoot. He said he pushed himself and his team to “the depths of hell and back”, while expressing gratitude for completing the project ahead of schedule.

Vir Das, who made his directorial debut with ‘Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos’, wrote in the caption: “A wrap. Directing is hard. I push hard. I try and meet everyone at the push, and push with them. It’s not easy, neither am I. Because we attempt things that are beyond our station, above our capability, as outsiders, as underdogs.”

He wrote that over the last four months, he found a “cast and crew that let me make a horror movie with them. Ultra DIY.”

The actor added: “They let me drag them to the depths of hell and back. We worked hard, worked long, literally soaked each other in blood, fought monsters, dove into darkness and laughed along the way. I learned so much from them.”

“We finished ahead of schedule, thanks to these amazing people. I’m so deeply grateful. Baara Number will find its way to your screens soon. I’m so grateful to everyone who worked on it, and the blood spilled for it,” Vir Das concluded.

‘Baara Number’ is positioned as a found-footage horror narrative and aims to move beyond conventional horror tropes, blending psychological depth with atmospheric storytelling.

Vir Das made his directorial debut with ‘Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos’, which was produced under Aamir Khan Productions. (IANS)
