TV Channels In Search Of Telugu Kapil

October 18, 2014 - 10:27 AM IST

The moment you hear the name Kapil, you get reminded of the iconic cricketer of the yesteryears. But the Kapil we are talking about is not a sportsman but a comedian. Yes, we are talking about Kapil Sharma who is currently ruling the roost in north Indian TV circuit with his entertainment show Comedy Nights With Kapil.

His program garners huge TRP and even top level Bollywood people are coming and promoting their movies in this show. Coming to the Telugu circuit, we have the slapstick comedy programs like Jabardasth and others.  But then, it is a set of routine comedy shows showcasing the artists talent.

But it is not a platform for movie promotions. That way, Ali 369 is the only comedy show useful for film promotion. All this is leading the TV channels into a new thought. They are stating “If someone dynamic like Kapil Sharma is there then we are willing to come up with a program similar to his entertainment show.” Well, is there someone like that with Kapil’s caliber? We will have to wait and see.
