Indian King of Comedy Kapil Sharma, Star of Busan Film ‘Zwigato,’ Takes On Global Streaming With Hit Netflix Show (EXCLUSIVE)


Indian comedy king Kapil Sharma discusses global success of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' on Netflix, future plans, and balancing comedy with drama.

“We’re very lucky to have created a show where each episode is so different and unique and the season-wise approach on Netflix allows us all a bit of a breather, which is a welcome change,” Sharma says. The guest list for Season 2 includes Saif Ali Khan, NTR Jr, Janhavi Kapoor, the T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team and also the cast of “Fabulous Wives vs Bollywood Lives.” The season kicked off with Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Vasan Bala and Vedang Raina for their upcoming film “Jigra.” As “The Great Indian Kapil Show” continues to gain global traction, Sharma remains open to new opportunities, including the possibility of more stand-up specials following the success of “I am Not Done Yet” on Netflix.
