Comedian Kapil Sharma took to his social media handle to share some photos from Toronto International Film Festival 2022. He shared a bunch of pictures with filmmakers Nandita Das and Deepa Mehta. Kapil's upcoming film, Zwigato premiered at TIFF and was screened in the Contemporary World section of the film fest. Kapil plays a role of a food delivery rider who explores the world of the gig economy.
Sharing photos of himself with Nandita Das and Deepa Mehta at TIFF, Kapil wrote, “With the two most talented women….”
Meanwhile, the film Zwigato has been gaining appreciation from film buffs. One of them wrote, “Zwigato poignantly depicts the ongoing class struggle in India by bringing the audience alongside the contemporary life of a food courier in a Jharkhand. Layers of family, surveillance tech, joy, tradition, pride, and partnership intersect so elegantly. Congrats, Nandita Das!”. Another wrote, “I definitely recommend #Zwigato. A small film that has huge performances and a great story.” It was also called a ‘timely and important film’.
Zwigato has been jointly produced by Sameer Nair’s Applause Entertainment and Nandita Das Initiatives. Nandita had earlier said in a statement, “The film attempts to make visible what’s hidden in plain sight. And for this, the cast and crew have serendipitously come together. One day, Kapil Sharma popped up on my screen! I hadn’t seen his show, but I could see him wholly representing the ‘common man, despite not being one anymore! I am certain he will surprise everyone including himself, with his natural candidness”.
