What is the film all about?
The story of Zwigato revolves around the life of a former floor manager at a factory, who loses his job due to the pandemic. To make ends meet, he turns into a food delivery guy, who struggles with the world of ratings and algorithms. Shahana on the other hand plays his wife, a homemaker, who starts to work to support his income. See the trailer here:-
Nandita in an earlier interview revealed the reason why she chose Kapil to play such a polished yet emotional character.
She quoted, ¡°The film attempts to make visible what¡¯s hidden in plain sight. And for this, the cast and crew have serendipitously come together. One day, Kapil Sharma popped up on my screen! I hadn¡¯t seen his show, but I could see him wholly representing the ¡®common man¡¯, despite not being one anymore.¡±

Kapil¡¯s much-anticipated film Firangi failed miserably at the box office in 2017. This time, he does not hold any such insecurity and is open to reactions.
In an interview with Rediff, Kapil said, ¡°I recently told my wife, if this film doesn't work, I will not lose anything. But if it succeeds and is a hit then I will get a lot from it. People will say 'Kapil ne bahut accha kaam kiya ha¡¯ (Kapil has done good work).' It is important that more and more people watch the film. Comedy shows are my bread and butter.¡±

¡°But because of that, I was motivated to look for something else to do. Socha kitchen safe hai. Pange lete hain thode se (I thought the kitchen is safe so let¡¯s experiment a bit). Someone asked weren't you afraid? I said why should I be afraid? Woh dukaan to apni chal hee rahi hai (My shop is running smoothly). I am just adding on to that,¡± he concluded.
