Paresh Rawal Hails Sunil Grover, Says Kapil Sharma Show Is Daily Rival to Comedy Films

Rawal argues TV’s writer-heavy shows now set the bar for big-screen comedy.

Overview

  • During promotion for Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla, Rawal said The Kapil Sharma Show competes with every comedy film and praised Sunil Grover as a “volcano” of talent.
  • He described comedy as a tough craft to sustain and said television and digital acts set a daily benchmark that films struggle to match.
  • Rawal pointed to resources as a key gap, noting shows often use 10–15 writers while many film producers cannot fund even one dedicated writer.
  • He urged filmmakers to rethink their approach if they want to compete with TV and streaming comedy that audiences follow week in, week out.
  • Hindustan Times reports Bhooth Bangla crossed ₹100 crore worldwide in three days, and the paper says a new Kapil Sharma Show season is slated for Netflix later this year.
