Although Meera Syal plays the grandmother of Sanjeev Bhaskar's character, she is only two years and four months older than him. While in production for The Kumars, Syal and Bhaskar married.
Sanjeev Bhaskar says he used 42 for the show's house number because he was heavily influenced by Douglas Adams's radio series "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" when he was growing up.
This series was adapted in Hindi by K9 productions under the name "comedy nights with kapil" . The Hindi version is well received by people and watched all over India
