Patel revealed the reason why the element of comedy was so important for the film.
“I think when it comes to a message for a movie like this, a comedy is the most powerful way to really put the case across because it can really it wrong foots people. People think they are watching a comedy specially with a name like Adam’sa.”
Himesh Patel added: “But there are moments of really powerful and dramatic sequences and I think they are all the more powerful, so I think it relaxes the audiences and then can really make an impact. No pun intended.”
The film also features a stellar cast of Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, and Timothee Chalamet.
It is streaming on Netflix.
