Nandita Das opens up about Kapil Sharma being late on the sets of Zwigato; says, “I had also heard many stories of Kapil being late”

In an interview with Indian Express, Nandita shared her experience of working with Kapil Shama for Zwigato. She said, “Kapil is actually a simple man himself and comes from a humble background. I had many interactions and rehearsals that convinced me that he would perfectly represent the common man that he no longer is in real life.”

She further added, “He said playing an ‘ordinary’ man reminded him of his growing-up years and his days of struggle. And because he is still very rooted, Manas’ character was not alien to him. He got into the skin of the character quite effortlessly. Also, he surrendered to the process, and we had a very good working relationship.”

When asked if Kapil was ever late on sets of the film, she replied, “Yes, I had also heard many stories of Kapil being late. In all honesty, he was a few times. But his disarming and childlike apologies often melted away my annoyance as I am a bit of a stickler for time. Moreover, once he is on set, he is fully absorbed and involved in the process and never really in a hurry to go back. I think it was out of his comfort zone to get out of the studio and be in an outdoor location. But I think he enjoyed the experience.”

Kapil Sharma had earlier done two films, i.e., Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon in 2015 and Firangi in 2017. Following Zwigato’s world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the film also had its screening at the Busan International Film Festival 2022.
