Hasmukh is the next Netflix original series to be released on April 17th 2020. The show has been co-created, co-written and stars stand up comedian Vir Das in the lead. Hasmukh follows a country bumpkin comic Hasmukh Sudiya (Das) from Saharanpur who dreams of becoming the greatest comedian in the world. Unfortunately, he lacks comic timing which is what comedy is all about. The twist is that all that changes when he murders his mentor and performs a lot better on stage, and discovers that the only way he can sustain that level is to keep killing. Thus begins his tryst with murders. Das co-created Hasmukh with Nikkhil Advani and co-wrote with Advani, Nikhil Gonsalves , Suparn Verma , Amogh Ranadive , and lyricist Neeraj Pandey. Nikhil Gonsalves is also the director. Hasmukh is produced by Emmay Entertainment for Applause Entertainment. In a statement Das said, “Performing in front of a live audience is extremely different from being in a fictional film or series. I’m back on screen playing a strange and unusual character, so I’m excited. He’s 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’re all looking for innovative ways to make people laugh, but this guy takes it to the next level. The trailer should give you a sneak peek into what I’m talking about, but just wait and watch.”
