The 32-year-old has signed a three-film contract with YRF.
'Bank-Chor' will be produced under the production banner's Youth Films Division Y-Films, which made 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti'.
"It&rsquo;s a privilege and a dream to be part of the YRF family and have my launch with their Youth Films Studio, Y-Films. The script is the most exciting part since it's the kind of role that's very unlike the stereotype of a comedian or what people could typecast me as," Kapil said in a statement.
He says that he has already started "working on the nuances of the character".
"I've always loved and watched thrillers and this is a thriller comedy, so it's even better," said the star comedian, who has become a rage courtesy his hit chat show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil'.
He is excited about turning over a new leaf with the movie.
"I&rsquo;ve done serious theatre for years before comedy. Finally with YRF&rsquo;s vision, I&rsquo;ll get to do this again after a 12-year break and this script has equal scope of comedy. It&rsquo;s sure to surprise my fans," he said.
'Bank-Chor', directed by Bumpy and produced by Ashish Patil, is a comic caper that tells the story of three people who pick a wrong day to rob a bank. What happens when the trio is inadvertently caught in a crossfire of cops, industrialists and corrupt politicians, forms the rest of the story.
The movie will go on floors in April.
