Renowned actor and comedian Sunil Grover expressed his joy at reuniting with his industry peer Kapil Sharma on the highly anticipated "The Great Indian Kapil Show," marking a significant reconciliation six years after their infamous fallout during a flight from Melbourne, Australia to India.
Grover, known for his previous collaborations with Sharma on popular TV shows like "Comedy Nights with Kapil" and "The Kapil Sharma Show," humorously suggested that their past altercation might have been a calculated "publicity stunt" aimed at garnering attention for their forthcoming Netflix venture.
Reflecting on his return to the show, Grover remarked, "Being a part of this show has been an absolute delight. It's like coming back home where work doesn't feel like work. I feel blessed once again to be surrounded by laughter. We share laughs all day, and when we step onto the stage, that laughter accompanies us."
These sentiments were echoed during the trailer launch event of "The Great Indian Kapil Show," attended by Sharma along with other cast members including Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, Archana Puran Singh, and Rajiv Thakur. Sharma expressed gratitude for the opportunity to bring the show to a global audience through Netflix, describing it as another significant achievement in their collective journey.
Sharda shared his enthusiasm for the creative process, highlighting the joy he finds in brainstorming with the team to craft entertaining episodes. Abhishek revealed that the cast aimed to introduce a fresh approach with each episode, promising viewers a diverse array of characters and performances.
Singh attributed the success of Indian comedy to the talented pool of writers, while Thakur, a close friend of Sharma, lauded the comedian for revolutionizing the genre. "He has redefined the essence of comedy, reshaping its very syntax. Today, comedy begins with 'K' thanks to him," Thakur remarked.
The launch event also doubled as an early celebration of Sharma's upcoming 43rd birthday on April 2. "The Great Indian Kapil Show" is scheduled to premiere on March 30, with new episodes airing every Saturday at 8 pm, exclusively on Netflix.
