Surat: The hugely-popular "Comedy Nights
With Kapil" has completed 100 episodes
and the show’s host-producer Kapil
Sharma says that initially he was asked to
do only 26 episodes.
The comedy show, which went on air in
June 2013 on Colors, gives a distinctive
take on the everyday life of a common
man as the show explores the story of
every household and how the show’s
common man played by Kapil is affected
by the simplest issues in life around him.
“The initial contract was of 26 episodes.
When the shooting started, the channel
thought of extending it to 36. When I shot
two to three episodes, they told me let’s
make it 50. After it went on air and seeing
the response, they said let’s make it 100
and after 10 episodes, they told me to do
as many as high up,” Kapil told reporters
here in a group interaction during the
launch of “Kaun Banega Crorepati 8”.
The show, which also featured Bollywood
celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay
Kumar and Karisma Kapoor, consists of
actors like Sumona Chakravarti, Ali Asgar
and Upasana Singh.
Comedian Sunil Grover, who quit the show
last year, has again joined back and Kapil
is happy. He added: “When you work with
good artists, it’s good.”
Kapil is delighted with the positive
response for his show, but he would like
to act in movies too.
“People do 250 films, still nobody knows
their name. I am fortunate that people
know me and this is all because of the
show. As an artist, I would like to grow, so
I am trying to balance the show and my
movie assignments,” said Kapil, who was
slated to make his Bollywood debut with
Yash Raj Films' "Bank Chor" but is now
out of the project.
The show has been lauded by celebrities
like Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan
and Sonakshi Sinha. http://m.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/bollywood/comedy-nights-with-kapil-celebrates-100-episodes-16120.html
