BANGALORE: After playing a rising star in Bollywood, actor Vir Das returns to the silver screen this July as an investment banker with a list. What list, you wonder? It’s a long list of requirements that Vir’s character Amit Sahni wants to see in his ideal woman. Hence, the title of the film: ‘Amit Sahni Ki List’.
According to Bollywood Hungama, Vir’s character Amit Sahni “is a young and quirky guy who is searching for the woman of his dreams, correction- the woman of his LIST. Amit has noted down all the traits that he is looking for in the perfect woman and every time he goes out on a date, he secretly checks to see if his date matches to the list. The interesting twists and turns that take place on account of the list make for an interesting comedy.”
The film also stars Chittagong actor Vega Tamotia as the ideal woman for Amit. But does she meet his list? Absolutely not. She all but throws it out the window. The unusual pairing of the leading couple, a formula on which films have been dependent since time immemorial will be seen in play once again in Amit Sahni Ki List.
Vega had earlier played the role of revolutionary Pritilata Waddedar, the first woman revolutionary of India in the film Chittagong. Vishakha Singh had played the same role in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. She has also acted in other films, mostly in the Tamil and Telugu industry. Amit Sahni Ki List is to be her second Bollywood film.
The film also stars Kavi Shastri and Anindita Nayar. Shastri is a UK born actor who has acted in both British and Indian films and TV series. His most popular role is perhaps Rohan Mehra in Sony’s Rishta.com which was produced by YRF TV. Anindita Nair is making her debut in this film.
Young composer Palash Muchhal is part of the composing team. Das has turned singer roo and will be seen crooning, “Pyaar Hai Kutti Cheez” in the film.
Amit Sahni Ki List releases in theaters on July 18.
