Kapil Sharma has offered candid insights into the differences between working in television and film. The popular comedian-actor recently discussed the varying demands of each medium.
Sharma notably stated that television work contributed to him becoming “lazy.” He made these comments during an appearance on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s podcast.
“On TV, it’s not like if you gain weight, you won’t get work,” Sharma explained. “Work is ongoing, you sit on a sofa, there’s not a speck of effort there.”
He contrasted this with his experience during his 2017 film ‘Firangi,’ when he was very fit. Sharma has now committed to maintaining his fitness, regardless of upcoming film projects.
The actor also revealed he received nine film offers after the trailer release for his movie ‘Zwigato.’ He told News18 that while these were serious projects, many writers lacked seriousness in their work.
Sharma is set to return to the big screen in ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2.’ This film is a sequel to his 2015 Bollywood debut, ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon.’
The upcoming sequel features a cast including Sushant Singh, the late Asrani, Akhilendra Mishra, Vipin Sharma, Jamie Lever, Smita Jaykar, and Supriya Shukla. Anukul Goswami wrote and directed the film.
The trailer for ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2’ was recently released.
Sharma began his career on the small screen, rising to prominence with numerous comedy shows. His earlier film appearances include the original ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’ in 2015 and ‘Firangi’ in 2017.
