Vir Das has become the first Indian ever to have a global show on the online streaming network. The poster of actor-comedian Vir Das' Netflix special has been released. 

The poster mentions comic stalwarts such as Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, Aziz Ansari and David Chappelle - and ends with Das. 

"Excited that the Netflix special will be out soon in April. I'm honoured to be the first Indian to be featured for a Netflix special and the feeling is beyond words for me," said Das. 

The actor said he had a great time performing for a massive live audience and is excited about the trailer for the upcoming web series. 

Das continued, "The trailer will be coming out soon. Shooting for the special was a surreal experience with such a big live crowd and the response was phenomenal. Being on a platform like Netflix is extremely rewarding for me as an artist." 

The comedy series will release in April 2017.
