Kapil Sharma, Shahana Goswami And Nandita Das Promote Zwigato - See Pics

The trailer of the film was released on Wednesday. It follows the story of the struggle of a food delivery partner played by Kapil and how the mounting pressures of the food delivery app coupled with standard of living in big cities really gets to those who are at the lower rung of the society but still work tirelessly.

Kapil, who is otherwise known for his forte in comedy, takes complete departure from his image as a comic and merges in the dramatic universe of the film as he effortlessly portrays his character.

Talking about shedding the comic image, Kapil Sharma said during the press meet, I do comedy 2 hours a day on my show, but I'm not like that for 24 hours. There are several facets to my personality, which I'd like to show. I don't think there will be any disappointment among fans as they'll also be keen to see what new I'm bringing to the table.

Shahana Goswami plays the wife of Kapil's character in the film, she works as a masseuse to support her family financially.

The film has been directed by actress-director Nandita Das, who earlier directed the Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer 'Manto' based on the life of legendary writer Saadat Hasan Manto.

Zwigato was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and Busan International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews. The film will release on March 17. (All Images: Manav Manglani)
