Meanwhile, a reel is going viral on social media in which a film enthusiast Rohit Nair (@rovaitoorandom) makes an observation about F1's connection to the Bollywood. Apart from the leading cast in F1, a prominent role in the movie is played by the Danish actor Kim Bodnia, who essays the role of Kaspar Smolinski.

Many will not know that F1 star Bodnia has also featured in a Bollywood film. He had a small role in Abhinay Deo's Delhi Belly. Nair says that Bodnia features in an iconic scene in the movie when Vijay Raaz's Somayajulu and Pradeep Kabra as Somayajulu's henchman and others go an extortion bid and in the next cut, we see Bodnia as Vladimir Dragunsky, beaten up tied and gagged on a sofa.    

This scene not only establishes the menacing character of Somayajulu in the film but is also one of the more serious yet hilarious sequences in Delhi Belly. Bodnia is now shining for his role in F1 and is being hailed as one of the best character actors in the movie.
