“This nomination is a testament to the hard-working, dedicated, and extremely talented cast and crew, who brought the incredible story of Dr. Sarabhai and Dr. Bhabha to life. I loved working on ‘Rocket Boys’, a project that salutes India’s scientists, artists, and leaders, the pioneers of a newly birthed nation,” he added.

Sarbh will face competitors from Gustavo Bassani of “Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido” (Argentina), British actor Martin Freeman for “The Responder” and Jonas Karlsson for the Swedish sequence “Nattryttarna”.

“To be a comedy special from India nominated against massive TV shows from across the globe in a category like comedy. I’m just very glad to be able to represent India, Indian comedy and Indian stand-up. This ride has been crazy and I’m so thankful for everyone who made this happen – my hardworking team, and of course, Netflix India for putting ‘Vir Das: Landing’ on the map,” Das added.
