Actor and comedian Sunil Grover, currently gearing up for his upcoming streaming venture 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' alongside his comic counterpart Kapil Sharma, has unveiled a surprising revelation regarding their past public fallout. Speaking candidly with the media on the set of his new show, Sunil light-heartedly addressed the infamous spat that rocked the entertainment industry six years ago.
In a playful manner, Sunil disclosed that the highly-publicized rift between him and Kapil was actually a well-planned publicity stunt. Reflecting on the events of the past, Sunil humorously remarked that at the time, the burgeoning presence of streaming platforms in India prompted him and Kapil to ponder over innovative ways to elevate television content or simply jump on the OTT bandwagon.
In a tongue-in-cheek manner, Sunil quipped, "Back then, when Netflix India was making waves, we felt the need to engage and retain our television audience". He added, with a chuckle, "So, we concocted the idea of a staged altercation as a publicity gimmick".
Amidst fits of laughter, Sunil shared this amusing anecdote, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes antics of the entertainment industry. With their collaborative project 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' set to premiere on Netflix on March 30, audiences can anticipate a blend of humor and camaraderie from these two comedic talents.
