MUMBAI: Kapil Sharma, the host and producer of popular TV show Comedy Nights with Kapil, is all set to embark on a movie career, and he says the show would have to revert to its one-episode-per-week format due to time constraints. Kapil will make his film debut with Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) Bank-Chor, which will go on floors in April.
By now, somehow managing my schedules has become a habit for me. I am talking to you early in the morning after having worked on my show for 36 hours. Doing two episodes every week mean I have to provide at least 70 minutes of content every week.
He also said, I have no choice but to do this. The channel doesn’t want me to do the show only once a week. But for the sake of the film, I have no choice but to cut down my television show by half,” said the comedian, who has waited a very long time to do a movie.
I didn’t want to just carry over my comedy image into my movie career. When I heard the script of Bank-Chor, I was completely taken up. It allows me room not only for comic scenes, but there is also an element of seriousness in the story, he said.
It’s basically the story of the guys. So, the male casting is being done first. I am happy that I’d be making my film debut with Yash Raj Films. I grew up watching their films. I had never dreamt I would be a part of a Yash Raj film one day,” he said.
