It's curtain down for The Kapil Sharma Show!

One of the most popular standup comedy shows in the entire history of Indian television, The Kapil Sharma Show is going off air soon. Aired on Sony Entertainment Television, the show is bidding adieu to the audience due to the poor health condition of its host, comedian Kapil Sharma.

But if you thought that this is the end of the ball game for the comedy show, then wait! The show will make a grand comeback once Kapil recuperates properly and feels fit enough to host the show with the same vim and vigour.


“Kapil has been under the weather for some time now, due to which we have mutually agreed to take a short break. “However, once Kapil has recovered completely, we will start shooting once again. We value our relationship with Kapil and wish him a speedy recovery," an official spokesperson from SONY TV revealed in a statement.

The Drama Company, another popular comedy show on the channel featuring Mithun Chakraborty, Krushna Abhishek, Ali Asgar, Dr. Sanket Bhosale, Sugandha Mishra, Sudesh Lehri and Ridhima Pandit, will now occupy the 9:00 PM slot while its slot will be given to the second edition of the popular kids dancing reality show, Super Dancer.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
