In addition to portraying a delivery man, Kapil also portrays a father in the film, and he claims that having a child in real life helped him relate to his character's feelings more. Kapil told ETimes, “Today I am a father of two kids, but tomorrow I might get a chance to play a man who is like 40 years older than me and I will play that as well. However, having said that, since I am a father, a sentiment comes from within.” He added, “It happens that being a father in real life helps you connect more to the emotion.”

During the interview with the celebrity, Kapil Sharma put himself in Shahana Goswami's position. When questioned about Shahana's persona, Kapil (playing Shahana) responded, “I am playing the role of Pratima in the movie. As you know I was born and raised in Delhi, and this is my second movie with Nandita, I earlier worked with her in Firaaq, and we have a great relationship. And I work only with those people with whom my heart connects, I don’t work just for the sake of it.”

In the same breath, he further added, “Kapil is such an amazing actor.” “It was such an honour and pleasure to work with Kapil Sharma,” said Kapil.

On the professional front, Kapil Sharma’s had earlier done two comedy films, i.e., Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon in 2015 and Firangi in 2017. He will now feature in Zwigato. The film is about an ex-floor manager of a factory who loses his job during the pandemic. He then works as a food delivery rider, grappling with the world of ratings and incentives. To support the income, his homemaker wife begins to explore different work opportunities, with fear but also the excitement of newfound independence. The film is about the relentlessness of life, but not without their shared moments of joy. It captures the lives of invisible ‘ordinary’ people, hidden in plain sight.

Following its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Zwigato also had its screening at Busan International Film Festival 2022. Applause Entertainment and Nandita Das Initiatives present Zwigato, directed by Nandita Das.
