Popular
TV
host
Manish
Paul
is
set
to
make
a
crucial
shift
from
small
to
big
screen
with
Bollywood
film
Mickey
Virus.
He
says
he
is
ready
for
all
kinds
of
comparisons
with
his
contemporaries.
"Comparisons
will
happen,
but
we
all
are
friends.
All
of
us
have
come
from
television,
so
comparisons
are
bound
to
happen," the
31-year-old
said
here
Thursday
at
the
first
look
launch
of
his
film.
"But
we
call
up
each
other
and
joke
about
it.
No
one
has
taken
anything
to
heart
and
we
all
are
ready
for
comparisons,"
he
added.
In
recent
times,
actors
like
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
made
a
successful
transition
from
TV
to
films,
while
daily
soap
actor
Barun
Sobti
is
set
to
make
his
debut
with
Main
Aur
Mr.
Right.
Manish
has
anchored
a
lot
of
TV
reality
shows,
and
currently
he
is
seen
as
a
host
of
Jhalak
Dikkhla
Jaa
6.
He
says
his
anchoring
skills
made
it
slightly
tough
for
him
to
act
in
front
of
the
camera
for
the
movie.
"I
am
a
host
and
I'm
used
to
talking
looking
at
the
camera.
Sometimes
while
saying
the
dialogues,
I
turned
towards
the
camera.
This
was
a
problem,
but
Saurabh
sir
(director
Saurabh
Verma)
helped
me.
The
host
factor
used
to
reflect
at
times
in
my
dialogues
and
I
had
to
work
on
those
things,"
said
Manish.
Mickey
Virus
is
set
in
Delhi,
and
it
also
marks
the
debut
of
Elli
Avram
who
is
half
Greek
and
half
Swedish.
The
movie
is
slated
to
release
Sep
13th.
