Vir Das Calls Out ‘Film People' Who Are ‘Upset' With Influencers At Cannes 2025
Last Updated: Vir Das has come out in support of influencers and penned an elaborate note on social media. Actor-comedian Vir Das has sparked a debate online after calling out Bollywood personalities for criticising influencers at the Cannes Film Festival. His comments on the film industry's 'hypocrisy' have divided public opinion. According to the comedian, some people have been critical of influencers gracing the Cannes 2025 red carpet, particularly artists who don't think they belong on the French Riviera. Now, Vir Das has come out in their support and penned an elaborate note on his social media handle. The Delhi Belly actor, in his post, admitted that he never thought he would be defending the influencers, but some 'film' people's 'elitism was off the hook". Acknowledging that walking the Cannes red carpet brought exposure, specifically for those working with lesser-known designers, Das said, 'I get the appeal and eyeballs a red carpet brings." He stated that he respects the 'hustle' it takes to reach that stature. He added walking down the red carpet may not be his cup of tea, but he 'respects the underdog energy'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vir Das (@virdas) Taking a jab at the 'hypocrisy' of the film industry, Das said those miffed with influencers being at Cannes 2025 should cease appearing on their podcasts or working with them to market their films. He likened the discomfort of the 'film people' with influencers being in their domain to one that the audience feels listening to celebrities talk about their mundane habits on influencer platforms. The comedian concluded his post saying influencers may not be 'conventionally attractive' like celebrities or as 'well-dressed', but they could be 'more interesting' than the celebrities. The internet had mixed reactions to his hot take on influencers at Cannes 2025. Many praised Das for addressing the issue. Nikhil Taneja, founder of youth media channel Yuvaa, agreed with the Go Goa Gone actor's views. Another user commented, 'Why is he always the 'someone who said it' guy!?" However, some countered him, saying that the Cannes festival is hosted to honour the best of global cinema and the influencers walking the red carpet shift attention to fashion, designer wear, etc, instead. The netizen added that if they are there (Cannes) to show off their outfits, then 'it is not worth influencing'. This is not the first time Vir Das has taken a dig at Cannes. He previously joked he would not attend the festival this year due to its updated dress code, quipping that his planned outfit—a 78-foot-long nude gown—was now banned. First Published:

Sachin-Jigar reflect on 10 years of ‘Go Goa Gone' and its genre-defying soundtrack
As the film Go Goa Gone celebrated its 10-year anniversary in Hindi cinema, music composer duo Sachin-Jigar opened up about the unforgettable experience of working on the cult classic, which they say allowed them to 'go wild musically.' The 2013 zombie action-comedy film, directed by Raj and D.K., was a genre-defying ride that blended unique elements of electronic music, satirical lyrics, and an almost underground vibe. Tracks like Babaji Ki Booti, Slowly Slowly, and Khoon Choos Le became iconic, with their trippy beats and quirky, mind-bending lyrics capturing the essence of the film's offbeat charm. Speaking about their creative journey on the project, Sachin-Jigar shared, 'Go Goa Gone wasn't just a film — it was a vibe, a genre-defying trip that let us experiment fearlessly with sound.' They continued, 'From trippy tunes to zombie grooves, it gave us the freedom to go wild musically — and audiences vibed with it! Even today, hearing people sing along to Babaji Ki Booti or Khoon Choos Le reminds us why we love what we do.' The film, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Anand Tiwari, and Puja Gupta, is recognized as India's first zombie film and has been hailed as the nation's first stoner film. Over the years, it has gained a loyal following and developed into a cult classic. Although a sequel, Go Goa Gone 2, was announced, there has been no further production as of 2024. Sachin and Jigar's musical journey began as assistants to Pritam, where they worked on arrangements for top composers like A. R. Rahman and Amit Trivedi. After joining forces in 2009, the duo made their mark in the industry with their first independent composition in 2011 for F.A.L.T.U. From there, they went on to create soundtracks for several hit films, including OMG – Oh My God!, Shuddh Desi Romance, Stree, Bhediya, and more. Their contribution to Go Goa Gone remains a high point in their career, encapsulating their bold and experimental approach to music that continues to resonate with fans today.

Remembering ‘Go Goa Gone' Raj Nidimoru says: 'Saif Ali Khan was game to dye his hair blonde, use the accent, learn Russian curse words'
A decade ago, ' Go Goa Gone ' stormed into cinemas with a zombie outbreak and a bizarrely blonde Saif Ali Khan , redefining the limits of genre and comedy in Hindi cinema. Directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, the film blended horror, stoner comedy, and satire into a cult classic that fans still rave about. Remembering the first of its kind movie, Raj Nidimoru, in an exclusive conversation with us, talked about its genesis, the cast, and the unfulfilled dream of a sequel . While talking to us, Raj Nidimoru shared, 'What I remember the most is, we wanted to break the heroic one-man army mold. We were seeing every hero being the guy who can do it all — the one-man army, the guy who's good at everything, the perfect hero. So my thought at that point was, why can't our hero be a slacker? Why can't my protagonist be someone who can't even get up to pick up the television remote because it's two feet away?' Go Goa Gone - A slacker comedy 'We wanted to make slackers our protagonists, and it looks like it was the first of its kind — I didn't realize that. That was the idea, the genesis. These guys, they're the ones who would have to stand up and protect themselves and others, and become the heroes at the end of it.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around in 2025 Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Today, horror comedies are a big deal, and 'Go, Goa, Gone' came at a point when nobody was thinking about mixing the genres. Weighing in on this, Raj said, 'The idea was to create a slacker comedy—first of its kind—and a horror comedy in a way, also first of its kind at that point. Why not mix genres? I used to see all these song-and-dance movies where everybody goes to a party and dances. So we thought we should take that genre, where people go to a party, it looks like a great, happy film, and then it all turns into a nightmarish mess.' Further, on highlighting what prompted the decision to bring zombies to the big screen, he said, 'The point was to say that we live life like zombies—in our routines, our phones, our office, home — so we thought, literally, let's transform them into zombies. That was the thought. And that started our love for the horror-comedy genre. From that came Stree, and while we worked on Stree as a franchise, we also explored drama like Shor In The City.' The cast of 'Go Goa Gone' A film's success heavily depends on the selection and work of the cast, and echoing the same sentiment, Raj said, 'Casting was the final good stroke. Once we had Saif, Kunal Khemu, and Vir Das onboard, they were the best trio. I think it's still the best trio on screen. The camaraderie — people used to say, 'Wow, that's how much fun three boys can be!'' He added, 'Saif agreed to play this strange, almost comic-book action figure. He was game to dye his hair blonde, use the accent, learn Russian curse words, and all that. He was just rolling on the floor laughing during the first narration — I remember that clearly. Thanks to all of them for doing this.' Will there ever be 'Go Goa Gone 2' 'We always wanted to do a sequel. We're usually not the sequel kind of people, but this one film was always exciting enough to make a part two of. That said, we also started creating quite a few original projects — The Family Man, Farzi, Guns & Gulaabs — and then many other new stories we're working on. I'm happier telling new stories than making sequels. My preference is to create original new worlds. That said, Go Goa Gone is something I'd love to do — but it's a complicated situation. Too many people are involved in it. Too many rights-holders. That's been the case for years now. So I don't know what's going to happen there. But I must tell you something,' said Raj 'To pull off Go Goa Gone was not easy. Everybody thought we were bonkers — especially after Shor In The City, which was critically acclaimed and won awards. People thought we were serious filmmakers. And then we said we want to do a film with zombies,' he concluded.
