Before his film debut, Vir will appear in Pritam Pedro, a web series created by Rajkumar Hirani. The JioHotstar series also stars Arshad Warsi and Vikrant Massey, with Vir playing the lead role.

In 2024, Vir received praise for his performance in the play Letters of Suresh, where his long monologue stood out. His stage experience has already earned him recognition for strong screen presence.

With a seasoned team behind the film, Vir seems to have a promising debut ahead. The only question is whether Lijo Jose Pellissery will keep the story simple or blend in commercial appeal for wider reach.

Strong promotion will be key. From teaser to soundtrack, every element will need to connect with audiences and drive them to theatres. Fans now wait for more updates to see how the film performs at the box office.
