Actor Vir Das, who is generally known for his comic roles,
will be seen playing an intense and serious role for the very first time in his
career in forthcoming movie 31st October, a dramatic thriller about a Sikh
family trapped in a riot-prone area of New Delhi during the anti-Sikh riots in
the aftermath of the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Vir, who will be seen playing the protagonist Devender Singh
in the movie, told, ''I would say that Devender Singh was one of my toughest
roles ever. The reason being that I am not a Sikh, plus I am not a father, so
to portray the emotions of a Sikh father desperate to get his family to safety
during riots and the decisions that he has to take as a father, was quite tough
for me. However, I am thankful to the makers for believing that I could pull
off such a role.'' Vir will be paired opposite Soha Ali Khan in the movie.
Produced by writer-producer Harry Sachdeva and Magical
Dreams Productions Pvt Ltd, co-produced by Anand Prakash, directed by National
award winner Shivaji Lotan Patil, and released by Panorama Studios, 31st
October, which is slated to release on October 7, is a glimpse into the
controversial dark chapter of India's History.
