Kapil Sharma to launch his new TV show next month

2017 did not turn out to be an amazing year for ace comedian Kapil Sharma. His mid-air brawl with friend and colleague Sunil Grover led to the untimely closure of his popular comedy show, The Kapil Sharma Show.

After his show met a dismal fate, Sharma had a lot of expectations from his film, Firangi. But the movie failed miserably at the box office, incurring heavy losses for the comedian, who was also the producer of the movie.


However, things could turn positive for the comedian in 2018. Buzz has it that Kapil Sharma is all set to make his comeback to television with a new show.

According to reports, Kapil is working on a brand new show. The untitled show will go on air on 18th February on Sony Entertainment Television. Reportedly, the whole team of the show will head outdoors on 25th and 26th January to shoot the promo.

Though nothing much is out about the show, reports suggest that Kapil had a meeting with the officials of Sony TV a couple of days back, wherein he proposed the idea of a game show. It is yet not confirmed whether it is the same show or the comedian is coming up with something totally new and different.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
