Comedian-writer Amit Tandon is to make his acting debut?

Renowned stand-up comic and creative writer Amit Tandon who has appeared in many shows and live comic gigs is gearing up for his acting debut in a drama-comedy project.

According to a press statement, "Amit Tandon is being a part of Dramedy. He himself was writing it, and since he comes with a background of comedy and storytelling, so the team thought it would be good to have him in front of the camera as well."

The statement also mentioned that the project is in the development stage right now and only the writing is in process. Amit is writing the project as a web series, and the topic of the narrative is based on real-life accounts of some of the real estate scams of Delhi. However, since it is in an early stage, the title of the project is yet to be decided.

The source also informed us that the project will go into production sometime next year.

Amit is a Delhi-based comedian and appeared in stand-up shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime as well as on television channels. However, what made his stand-up stand out is his signature clean comedy.

After doing a multi-city tour internationally, Amit finally moved to Mumbai in 2017 and took up comedy as a full-time profession.
