During ‘casual chat’ with Sunil Grover, Salman Khan asked him to collaborate with Kapil Sharma again

Sunil Grover said that Salman Khan, who is producing Kapil Sharma’s new show, had a “casual chat” with him about starring in The Kapil Sharma Show. While Kapil is all set to return to television with his comeback show, Sunil is also busy with his new comedy series Kanpur Wale Khuranas, co-starring Ali Asgar and Upasana Singh.

“Salman sir is producing that show. My own dates would have clashed (with Kapil’s show) as I am doing a film with Salman sir. This show that I am doing for Star Plus fitted in the window that I had. But he (Salman) did speak to me briefly about it (bringing two of us together). We had a very casual chat about it but nothing much,” Sunil said during an interview with a news agency. Salman and Sunil are working together in Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat.

Kapil and Sunil witnessed major fallout after the former allegedly assaulted him physically on a flight in February 2017. Apology statements were issued by Kapil but Sunil ended up quitting the first season of The Kapil Sharma Show. TRPs subsequently crashed and reports of Kapil cancelling shoots with celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn also proved fatal for the show – following which The Kapil Sharma Show went off air.

Kapil, soon after, was diagnosed with depression and after a few months, made a comeback on television with Family Time With Kapil Sharma. However, the show went off air after a few episodes due to negative ratings.

Sunil, in the meantime, was asked whether he would prefer collaborating with Kapil in future and he said, “Time will tell, God will tell. Right now I am concentrating on my show and hope I am able to bring a smile on everyone’s faces.”

Kanpur Waale Khuranas features Aparshakti Khurana as well. It will premiere on December 15 while the opening episode of the show will feature Simmba director Rohit Shetty and actor Ranveer Singh.
