Kapil Sharma to launch his new TV show next month

2017 did not turn out to be an amazing year for ace comedian Kapil Sharma. His mid-air brawl with friend and colleague Sunil Grover led to the untimely closure of his popular comedy show, The Kapil Sharma Show.

After his show met a dismal fate, Sharma had a lot of expectations from his film, Firangi. But the movie failed miserably at the box office, incurring heavy losses for the comedian, who was also the producer of the movie.


However, things could turn positive for the comedian in 2018. Buzz has it that Kapil Sharma is all set to make his comeback to television with a new show.

According to reports, Kapil is working on a brand new show. The untitled show will go on air on 18th February on Sony Entertainment Television. Reportedly, the whole team of the show will head outdoors on 25th and 26th January to shoot the promo.

Though nothing much is out about the show, reports suggest that Kapil had a meeting with the officials of Sony TV a couple of days back, wherein he proposed the idea of a game show. It is yet not confirmed whether it is the same show or the comedian is coming up with something totally new and different.

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.
