On Wednesday, the producers of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ (TGIKS) released a new ad for the show, which features Grammy-winning pop sensation Ed Sheeran.
The celebrity discussion show is presented by stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma.
The promo starts with Kapil declaring, “Please welcome the man who has sold over 150 million records. “Ed Sheeran.” Krushna Abhishek says, “These people say there’s no ‘Ad’ on Netflix, guess what, Ed Sheeran has come.”
Kapil adds to Ed, “You’re younger than me in age. But I’m younger than you in English.”
The global pop icon performs a Bhangra version of his hit song ‘Shape of You’.
The video then shows a girl in the audience saying, “I love you Ed,” to which Ed responds, “I love you too.”
Kapil then responds, “I’m watching your videos, You visited Shahrukh Khan’s house. You met him, Wow.”
Ed next attempts to say SRK’s famed Hindi dialogue “Bade bade shehron mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain” from the 1995 musical romantic drama ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ), starring SRK and Kajol.
Ed wins the heart by posing in SRK’s famous DDLJ pose.
The four-time Grammy winner then performs a random Hindi and Bhojpuri song for Sunil Grover that he composed on stage: “aayo aayo Lakhanpal nu janamdin aayo.”
Sunil, dressed as a rockstar, tells Ed, “We have a programme in Rajasthan, so you’re hired.”
The video concludes with Kapil declaring, “He has come especially to meet me.” Ed responds in Hindi: “nahi nahi. mere show hai Mumbai me.”
The post’s caption reads: “The perfect collaboration does not exis.”
The episode will premiere on Netflix this Saturday at 8 p.m.
