What changed for Vir Das after watching Rang De Basanti?

Vir, on watching Rang De Basanti, shared, "So I`m a trained actor. I was in the theatre. When I saw Rang De Basanti at Regal.  And I`m sitting there going, look at Aamir Khan sharing space with this ensemble. And look at how well Sharman came out in that. How well Madhavan also came out in that, etc. They`re not just heroes` friends. Look at how much justice they did all of these characters. There might be space for someone like me."

Vir had done a Bollywood film with Vikram Bhatt called Mumbai Salsa. "The first day, first show, I went with my family. Friday night show. I was the lead. Cancelled. Because only six people showed up. I still remember how I bagged that film. I had gone to audition for the third hero, Vikram Bhatt was there, and I`m like, here`s my stand-up, DVD, for a special I shot at Habitat. And I got the auto pulled up in Bandra, and I got a call from him saying, bro, you`re the hero of the movie."
