Indian comedy sensation Kapil Sharma, who starred in Nandita Das’ 2022 Busan selection “Zwigato,” has successfully transitioned his long-running TV show to Netflix, with “The Great Indian Kapil Show” now reaching audiences worldwide.
“The Kapil Sharma Show” was broadcast on Sony Entertainment Television India from 2016-2023. The decision to bring his show to Netflix came organically. “Netflix asked, why don’t we bring your show, which people have enjoyed on TV for so many years, onto Netflix,” Sharma explains. “I really liked this idea, and thought why not? A global service like Netflix would be great to reach more people and get international exposure as well.” The transition has allowed for a new approach to production. “We’re very lucky to have created a show where each episode is so different and unique and the season-wise approach on Netflix allows us all a bit of a breather, which is a welcome change,...

Zee End Is Nigh
Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., the disappointed bride in the failed engagement between Zee and Sony India, has formally ended its quest for a merger. On Tuesday, it withdrew its application before the industry regulator National Company Law Tribunal and said that it will focus instead on internal growth. Pulling the Nclt application also makes it somewhat easier for Zee to pursue its arbitration and other legal actions against Sony.
The plan to merge the two mid-size film and TV businesses was on the table for over two years, but finally (acrimoniously) collapsed in January 2024. Sony is also seeking restitution from Zee, which it says failed to live up to the agreed merger terms. Since the wedding bells stopped ringing, Zee has also announced that it will slice its workforce by 15%.

Is the feud over for these two? Ever since the news broke about a fight between comedian and actor Kapil Sharma and his co-star Sunil Grover, Twitterati has gone crazy thinking about the future of ‘Comedy nights with Kapil’.

Ever since the time Kapil Sharma joined hands with Sony Television to make 'The Kapil Sharma Show', there have been many changes and additions in characters as compared to his previous show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil'. One such addition in the latest format is that of Rochelle Maria Rao, who plays the role of a pretty nurse, who is always the centre of everyone's attention. While many have enjoyed her 'nurse-ing' act, a certain section of people have found that objectionable. And they are the nursing staff from various medical colleges and hospitals in Punjab, who not just staged a protest at Guru Nanak Dev Hospital in Amritsar, but also filed a complaint against Kapil Sharma. If that wasn't enough, they even criticised the show's judge Navjyot Singh Sidhu, who was Bjp's Lok Sabha MP from Amritsar earlier. Speaking about the issue, Raj Bedi (State General Secretary-Punjab Nursing...

After Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible, there is the Kapoor Cruise. Rishi Kapoor won't be here for the release of his new eagerly awaited film All Is Well.
Explaining his absence the versatile actor says, "All of us are off on a 3-week Mediterranean cruise. It was planned long before. There's no way I'd give up that to be here for my film's release."
'All of us means' the entire Kapoor Khandaan. The matriarch Mrs Krishna Raj Kapoor, her three sons Randhir, Rishi (with wife Neetu) and Rajeev and two daughters Reema and Ritu, their husbands , children...and so on.
So is this cruise inspired by Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do? Rishi protests furiously, "Please! We've been doing this for years now. It's just that no one knew about it."
On Tuesday, before Rishi leaves for the cruise, he will be shooting an episode of Comedy Nights With Kapil.

Ever since Kapil Sharma announced that he will be taking a break from 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' (for health issues), there have been speculations about who will replace the comedian. Various names like Karan Johar, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh and Arjun Kapoor did the rounds in the media as a replacement.
First Karan retaliated saying he can never replace Kapil, and now Arjun Kapoor also denied all the reports, thus making clear that he will not host the show.
Arjun Kapoor wrote on a micro-blogging site, "Have woken up to random things before in the media...but this is a different level...they have attached my name to be part of comedy nights"
"I love television in India and @KapilSharmaK9. I remain a fan of the show as a viewer...that's it not gonna host episodes. #randomnewsday !!!," added the Iifa host, who recently tickled our funny bone at the awards ceremony.

For all those, whose weekend nights had become synonymous with the popular show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil', there's some sad news. The show's host Kapil Sharma, who had single handedly taken the show to dizzying heights, has suffered a slipped disc while working out and hence, he will not be hosting the show for a few episodes. If the buzz is to be believed, then, Kapil Sharma will now be 'replaced' by the likes of Arshad Warsi and Sajid Khan, who have been roped in do host one episode each. Besides the two, even Karan Johar's name has been doing the rounds for hosting an episode. Despite repeated attempts to establish contacts with the channel, it remained unavailable for comments. Watch this space for developments.

There was high drama on the sets of Kapil Sharma's popular show when Govinda and his daughter, who makes her debut this week in Smeep Kang's Second Hand Husband, walked out minutes before they were to go on air. The reason given in two words was...Geeta Basra. It was a little shocking to see the team of Smeep Kang's film Second-Hand Husband on Kapil Sharma's Comedy Nights With Kapil this week without the film's debutante heroine Tina Ahuja who is our own Govinda's daughter. While the film's leading man Punjabi superstar Gippy Grewal was present with the film's second lead Geeta Basra, Tina, we are told, chose to stay away from camera range. Says a source from Kapil's show, "Govindaji had come for our show with his daughter Tina. But minutes before the camera was to roll they left. We were all in a state of a shock.

The recently held Iifa Awards in Malaysia, among other things, witnessed probably the best hosts in the history of any Bollywood award show. Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor came together to rock the Iifa stage and arguably bettered the Shah Rukh-Saif jodi as hosts is the general perception.
Ranveer and Arjun were invited by the organisers to host the show because the pairing had got so much love from the audience thanks to their incredible off screen camaraderie on first Koffee with Karan and then Comedy Nights with Kapil. And, of course, the hugely successful Aib Roast which broke the internet.
The boys prepared very hard for the evening, like no two stars have done for hosting an awards show. What’s more they went and took permissions before cracking jokes on other celebs. In fact when they started they first sweetly apologised to Aamir for the Aib Roast.
