Sunil Grover on reteaming with friend-turned-foe Kapil Sharma

When ace comedians Sunil Grover and Kapil Sharma were together, their popular sitcom The Kapil Sharma Show used to garner huge TRPs. However, a mid-air fight between the duo did not only put a full stop to their camaraderie, but the show also bore the brunt of their major fallout and was eventually axed.

Initially, many people had thought that they would resolve their differences soon, but it has been almost two years since both parted their ways and there seems no reconciliation in sight.


Recently, when Sunil Grover was asked about burying the hatchet and making up with Kapil Sharma, the former still looked unsure about working with his former co-star again.

“We have done a beautiful show together and we made so many people laugh together. I feel gratitude towards the stage. Currently, I am busy with shooting for films and about the future, I can’t say anything.”

Meanwhile, Sunil Grover is gearing up for the release of his next film Pataakha. Also starring Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan in lead roles, the Vishal Bhardwaj directorial enters cinemas on 28th September.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
