Actor-comic Vir Das and streaming platform Netflix have announced another comedy special, a fifth for Das.
This marks his fifth project with the streamer after the International Emmy Award-winning "Landing", "Abroad Understanding", "Losing It", and "For India".
According to Netflix, the new globetrotting special offers "a unique narrative of self-discovery and global connection".
"As he moves from familiar stages to unexpected settings, he uncovers a profound truth: kindness is the only true universal language. In an era where roasts dominate the comedy landscape, Vir boldly challenges the norm by embracing joy and encouraging the world to share happiness freely," it read.
Das said comedy can bring people together, no matter where they come from.
"With this special, we are trying to bring something fresh to comedy by sharing stories and experiences that celebrate love and kindness while showing that laughter really is a universal language. This special will be an unapologetic direct shot of happiness to the heart.
"In my fifth special partnership with Netflix, I'm honoured to be able to showcase Indian comedy on a global stage and I can't wait for audiences everywhere to join me on this journey," the comedian said.
Das won the best comedy award for "Landing" at the 2023 International Emmy Awards. He shared the trophy with the much acclaimed British series "Derry Girls".
The comic will host this year's International Emmy Awards, becoming the first Indian to do so. The ceremony will be held in New York City on November 25.
