Sharing his excitement about the upcoming untitled film, Kapil Sharma shared that he’s excited to be working with Nandita Das as he has seen her both as a director and an actor. “She has a very distinct and deep way of looking at things and a keen eye for detailing.

An artist is always thirsty to do something different!,” said Kapil.
