Kapil Sharma who is all set to hit the silver screen with the film Zwigato has revealed why director Nandita Das cast him instead of any big star like Shah Rukh Khan, PinkVilla reported.

At the trailer launch event of the film, the comedian said: "I asked her, 'Why me?' I did not know whether to take her answer as a compliment or an insult. 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."

He also revealed that Zwigato's story is pretty close and relatable to him, and said: "I used to work at Coca-Cola. We all do small jobs here and there when we first come to Mumbai. "

"The product was transported in trucks. There were no apps back then. 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," he added.

Zwigato follows a tale of a delivery boy named Manas, played by Kapil Sharma. The film is all set to release in cinemas on March 17, 2023.
