For the on-air launch of the comedian Kapil Sharma’s comeback TV entertainer The Kapil Sharma Show on 23rdApril on Sony Entertainment Television, channel Colors will screen filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani instead of Comedy Nights Bachao.
Sharma came into the limelight through Comedy Nights With Kapil, which was replaced by Comedy Nights Live after the comedian had a falling out with Colors channel officials due to various reasons. Sharma is now coming up with The Kapil Sharma Show on a rival channel.
While many were hoping there will be a competition of sorts between Kapil and his contemporaries – Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh, hosts of Comedy Nights Bachao – the Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon actor decided not to do so and changed the time slot of his show to 9 PM.
Meanwhile, Colors has now decided to telecast the world television premiere of Bajirao Mastani which stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra in the lead.
