Cast
A riot of comic actors
Cirkus has a great line-up of actors including Jacqueline Fernandez, Pooja Hegde, and Varun Sharma. While Singh's double role in the film will multiply the fun, having popular actors on board such as Vrajesh Hirjee, Tiku Talsania, Ashwini Kalsekar, Vijay Patkar, Sulbha Arya, and Brajendra Kala, among others, also promises the viewers of a great comedy film which will leave everyone in splits.
Adaptation
Inspired by William Shakespeare's 'A Comedy of Errors'
Cirkus is an Indian adaptation of William Shakespeare's popular writing piece, A Comedy of Errors. Apart from this, if media reports are to be believed then Cirkus is also based on 1982's hit film Angoor which starred Sanjeev Kapoor in the lead role. Interestingly, Angoor itself was a remake of Do Dooni Chaar (1968), which was loosely based on A Comedy of Errors.
