Ahead of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' premiere on Netflix, Sunil Grover has finally broken his silence about his fight with Kapil Sharma.
Ahead of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' premiere on Netflix, Sunil Grover has finally broken his silence about his fight with Kapil Sharma, which happened six years ago. Sunil Grover, who is winning praise for his work in the Hindi web series 'Sunflower', joked that his fight with Kapil Sharma was a "publicity stunt" they did for Netflix, long before the streaming giant set foot in India. For the unversed, Sunil Grover and Kapil Sharma are combining forces for the Netflix comedy show 'The Great Indian Kapil Show', which will start streaming on Netflix from March 30.
“We were seated on the flight and we learnt that Netflix was coming to India. So, kuch aisa ho ke (acha) publicity stunt ho,” News18 quoted Sunil as saying.
The 'Jawan' actor also joked that the streamer had called him and Kapil to ask what could be done and thus, this idea came to their mind.
For the unversed, Sunil Grover became the talk of the town after playing popular fictional characters Gutthi and Dr Mashoor Gulati on 'The Kapil Sharma Show'.
However, the actor then stunned everyone after he quit the show after his major fallout with Kapil. In October 2017, Sunil Grover and Kapil Sharma had a huge altercation in a flight when they were flying back to Mumbai after wrapping up a show in Australia.
Multiple media reports alleged that Kapil Sharma was under the influence of alcohol during the altercation and hit Sunil. Following this alleged incident, Sunil quit 'The Kapil Sharma Show'.
Speaking of Netflix series 'The Great Indian Kapil Show', every episode will air every Saturday, beginning March 30. The new episode will be released at 8 PM, every Saturday.
The first episode will feature actor Ranbir Kapoor, his mother Neetu Kapoor and sister Riddhima Kapoor. The promo of the episode was released by Netflix India on Tuesday evening.
