Kapil Sharma bags his first endorsement deal

Kapil Sharma is literally going places and even otherwise. The stand-up comedian, who is now no less than a superstar for masses, has bagged his first endorsement deal.

The producer of super-hit TV show - ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’- will be seen promoting an automobile brand.

In the ad, Kapil is seen playing a salesman. The manager of the showroom wants him to speak about the features of the new four-wheeler, but Kapil shows his flirtatious side, and succeeds in selling the vehicle to a woman client. And while doing so, unfurls the qualities of the vehicle.

The ad reflects Kapil’s personality and mirrors his character (Bitty Sharma) of ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’.

The actor-comedian has fans overseas and has impressed viewers across all age groups.

He has also been roped in by the Yash Raj Films banner for a three-film contract and will soon be seen in a film titled ‘Bank Chor’.

I`ll never give up `Comedy Nights...`-Kapil Sharma

Kapil Sharma`s rise on television from being a stand-up comedian to one of the country`s most sought after entertainers is the stuff fairy tales are made of. Having conquered the hearts of many with `Comedy Nights With Kapil`, he is now ready to try Bollywood with Yash Raj Films` `Bank Chor`. However, the comic entertainer reveals he is not willing to allow his show to suffer at any cost.

Excerpts:

Q: Your one tweet has caused a nation-wide furore. Apparently you decided to end the show without consulting the channel( where the show airs)?

A: (Sighs) I give my life and blood to the show. Even now as I talk to you I haven`t slept for the last 36 hours. I`ll never give up the show. I just wanted a break because I was exhausted.

Q: Absolutely. I hear the channel was taken aback by your tweet announcing the show`s end. What made you take that shocking decision?

A: Every show has it own profile and destiny. The format on `Comedy Nights...` required me to put together 26 episodes around the adventures of six family members. The 26 episodes stretched into 50 and then into a 100 episodes. I felt we needed to reinvent ourselves.

Q: I am aware of the barrage of movie offers that came your way until you finally said yes to the Yash Raj offer?

A: That`s right. Before I said yes to Yash Raj`s `Bank Chor` I turned down some really good film offers including one by Sunil Manchanda the producers of `Tere Naam`. I also said no Farhan Akhtar`s offer. I felt really awful saying no to this one. The Yash Raj film I signed was supposed to go on the floors in March 2014. Now it`s June. I am still not able to give them my dates. Actors crave to be in Yash Raj films. And here I am, delaying the shooting. I don`t want them to think I am arrogant. But I consider `Comedy Night...` to be bigger than any film.

Q: Apparently the Channel can`t afford to let you go because the ratings of your show alone are higher than the aggregate ratings of all their other popular shows?

A: If that is the case I don`t want to think about it. But I do know people wait for my show every week. I don`t want to sound boastful because my mother would slap me if I became vain. `Comedy Nights...` and every member of the show`s family have become popular. I want the show to grow. For this I need a break of a month at least. True, no show in the history of Indian television has remained no.1 uninterrupted for a 100 episodes. But I don`t want to compromise on quality.

Q: So once and for all are you planning to quit Comedy Nights?
A: I did 300 episodes of Comedy Circus. I am not the kind of person to abandon a show. Let me tell you, the offers that are coming my way are extremely tempting. I`ve no complaints against the channel. They`ve been wonderful to me.

Kapil`s dilemma - his comedy show must go on

 Kapil Sharma is a man caught in a conflict. On the one hand, he is gearing up for his big screen debut in Yash Raj Films` `Bank Chor` and on the other, his plans to reduce his workload by half on television have reportedly fallen through.
According to a source, an entertainment channel, which is behind Kapil`s hugely successful "Comedy Nights With Kapil" has refused to turn the show into a once-a-week affair.

The source said: "It was Kapil`s plan to do the show once a week instead of twice during the shooting schedule of `Bank Chor`. But considering Kapil`s and the show`s popularity, the channel has decided not to reduce the show`s weekly frequency."

The channel`s decision has put Kapil in a quandary. How does he take time off to shoot for the film?

"Initially, I had planned to do the show once a week during the shooting of my film. But the channel has rejected the idea. They are not ready to listen to my rona-dhona (emotional drama)."

The idea of shooting surplus episodes has also fallen through.

"I can`t create a bank of episodes for two months when I shoot my film because all the stars who come on my show do so when they are promoting their films. I can`t tell them, `Aap pehle aa jao kyonki meri film shooting hai (Come earlier because I am busy shooting my film).`

Kapil says he is looking for a way out.

"Luckily for me, my film`s shooting is delayed by a few months because the rest of the casting is not complete. But sooner or later, I`ll have to face this problem. Maybe get a clone created and call the show `Hum Aapke Hain...Clone`," he quipped.
