Ace comedian and actor Kapil Sharma’s comedy talk show has grown and improved over the years after providing entertainment on television. He is about to debut The Great Indian Kapil Show on an over-the-top streaming service (OTT), meaning that it will be available for streaming in hundreds of countries worldwide in addition to India.
As if that weren’t enough, Sunil Grover, who was formerly a crucial member of Kapil’s crew but parted ways with him following their infamous dispute, will once again be a part of the show.
The big media event on Tuesday that the cast of The Great Indian Kapil Show staged. The crowd cheered and hooted as the show’s cast—Kapil Sharma, Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, Rajiv Thakur, and Archana Puran Singh—entered the stage, but it was Sunil Grover’s final entrance that drew the most cheers from the crowd.
Soon after, after putting off a funny act for the crowd, Kapil and Sunil addressed the big issue at hand—that being their brutal mid-air altercation from six years prior, which caused the latter to leave the former’s show. But the two appear to have moved over their disagreements and are once again friends; in fact, Sunil went so far as to refer to the entire fight as a “publicity stunt.”
Sunil made a joke, saying, “Uss time pe Netflix India mein naya naya aaya tha toh hume laga ki television ki audience ko baandh ke rakhne ke liye kuch karna padega. And that’s how we came up with that idea of a fight as a publicity stunt. Just before boarding the flight, the team of Kapil Sharma Show asked me what can we do to promote it, and we came up with that idea.” But even as he made up the story, he was observed laughing uncontrollably, and Kapil was also seen making light of the questions regarding their fight.
Sunil went on to say that he was now “back home.” “It has been a delight to be a part of this show, and this is the one place where even when we work, it doesn’t feel tedious. I am blessed to have been a part of Kapil’s show, and I am feeling blessed that I got the opportunity all over again,” he said.
Kapil also expressed his excitement about his show’s upcoming global premiere. “I have been doing this for so many years on television and have worked with so many channels, but I am pleasantly surprised to see that the audience is still so excited to watch our family on OTT. The Great Indian Kapil Show is definitely bigger than all that we had been doing until now, and this time, we have some of the biggest names gracing our show. I promise to continue making my fans laugh, who have placed so much trust on me and my on-stage family,” he claimed.
Aamir Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, Parineeti Chopra, Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Ridhima Kapoor Sahni, and other celebrities are among those that will be featured in The Great Indian Kapil Show.
The Great Indian Kapil Show will be available on Netflix from March 30, 2024 onwards.
