What's the story

Renowned Indian comedian-actor Kapil Sharma is finally back with a new fresh sketch comedy show on Netflix, titled The Great Indian Kapil Show. Streaming weekly from March 30, the series reunites Sharma and fellow comedian Sunil Grover (Gutthi) following their infamous mid-air altercation in 2017. Echoing its predecessor, The Kapil Sharma Show, the format will feature celebrity guests and familiar faces. The trailer for the show was released on Saturday.

Context

Why does this story matter?

Sharma's dominance in prime-time comedy spans over a decade, starting with Comedy Nights With Kapil in 2013, with Dharmendra as the first guest. Despite its initial conclusion in 2016, Sharma's popularity led to the team's return with a new name and channel, presenting The Kapil Sharma Show the same year. This revamped series quickly became the preferred platform for film stars promoting their projects. Now, the anticipation is palpable for this new endeavor by Sharma and his team.

Trailer details

These Bollywood celebrities, cricket icons to grace the show

The trailer hinted at guest appearances from Bollywood celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Aamir Khan, as well as Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, and Indian cricket personalities like Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer. Unlike earlier versions of the show aired on Sony TV and Colors TV, these celebrity cameos are not entirely linked to their forthcoming films or shows. The trailer also humorously highlighted the past disagreement between Sharma and Grover.
