EXPLAINED: Why Nandita Das wouldn't have taken Shah Rukh Khan in Zwigato 'even if he agreed'

Firstpost  

The trailer of Kapil Sharma and Shahana Goswami starrer Zwigato was released yesterday and garnered positive response from the audience and film experts. In the trailer launch yesterday, Kapil Sharma said that he was curious why Nandita Das wanted to cast him in the first place adding that the director told him she wouldn’t have taken Shah Rukh Khan even if the superstar would have agreed as Zwigato requires a common face. She replied, ‘Even if global star Shah Rukh Khan would have agreed to do the film, I’d have not taken him, but chosen you because you have such a common face, it can fit anywhere in a crowd’," said Kapil Sharma. But, when Nandita ma’am came to me and told me what all difficulties delivery guys face, I could relate to that story a lot.” The film had its world premiere at the 47th Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022, followed by Asian premiere at the 27th Busan International Film Festival.
