The Kapil Sharma Show makes a comeback on Sony Entertainment Television
MUMBAI: India’s favourite comedian, who has become an integral part of people’s lives, Kapil Sharma is back on Sony Entertainment Television with a brand-new edition of The Kapil Sharma Show. Produced by Salman Khan Television (SK TV) and Banijay Asia, The Kapil Sharma Show promises fun-filled entertaining weekends starting 29th December every Sat-Sun at 9:30PM on Sony Entertainment Television.
This time around, Kapil will be seen running a ‘Salha Center’ (Consultancy Business) in a Mohollah with absurd characters. The wealthy dairy kingpin Bachcha Yadav (Kiku Sharda) with his dominating wife Titli Yadav (Bharti Singh) have rented out houses within a mohollah where Kapil Sharma, one of the tenants, runs his consultancy business. To avoid rent, Kapil has made Bachcha his business partner. The other tenants in the Mohollah – essayed by popular comic talent in the industry like Chandan Prabhakar, Krushna Abhishek, Sumona Chakravarti and Rochelle Rao amongst others, are full of quirks and don’t shy away from their antics either. With celebrities gracing every episode, The Kapil Sharma Show promises candid banter and unlimited entertainment every weekend. The first weekend will see the cast of Simmba – Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan and Sonu Sood along with director Rohit Shetty grace the stage followed by the Khan brothers – Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan along with Salim Khan in the following weekend.
The wait is finally over for the Kapil Sharma fans as he returns to television with renewed energy and vigour. After a long hiatus, Kapil, Kiku Sharda, Chandan Prabhakar, Bharti Singh and Krushna Abhishek will be seen performing together packing punches after punches for the audience. Navjot Singh Sidhu will be seen in his elements making appropriate remarks with his trademark ‘shayaris’.
