Following his stint in Whiskey Cavalier, actor-comedian Vir Das has been roped in for a key part in Judd Apatow’s next directorial, The Bubble.

It boasts a huge cast comprising Karen Gillan, Iris Apatow, Fred Armisen, Maria Bakalova, David Duchovny, Keegan-Michael Key, Leslie Mann, Pedro Pascal, and Peter Serafinowicz.
