Vijay Varma was excited and nervous before the release of his first-ever comedy project, a show called OK Computer, as anyone would be. But for anyone who has seen the show, you will agree that he didn’t need to be nervous because it is super intriguing and a really good show. Seems like the audience agrees because the Hotstar Original has gone onto become the most-watched series across all streaming platforms!
Ever since the release, Vijay has been in the news endlessly for his spectacular performance while Anand Gandhi is being highly appreciated for his new age unique concept.
OK Computer was announced as the most-watched/streamed Indian show of the week. Overwhelmed by such a response, Vijay took to his social media to thank the audiences. On his social media, he shared a video montage of his stills as Saajan Kundu from the show with the caption,
“Audience zindabad♥️
Most watch show/film of the week across all platforms 🤟🏼”
Anand Gandhi is also known for bringing offbeat and unique concepts to the screens. He has given us many successful projects previously like Tumbbad, Ship of Theseus, and An Insignificant Man.
With Anand bringing such a combination of genres, sci-fi with comedy, for the first time to India, Vijay has also shown us a first with his role of a cyber cell cop which saw him taking on a positive role for the first time. Such a change of roles showed us how he can ace a vast range of roles with his talent as an actor.
The Gully Boy fame has many other projects that he will be headlining like Ok Computer. These include Fallen with Sonakshi Sinha, Hurdang with Nushrratt Bharuccha and Sunny Kaushal, and Darlings with Alia Bhatt.
I recently caught up with Vijay and spoke about shooting Ok Computer, his shift from dark roles to a comedy role, and much more.
