Sunil Grover set for a comeback with 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge'?

After the much-publicized mid-air fight with his friend and co-star Kapil Sharma, which compelled him to leave Sony Entertainment Television's flagship show The Kapil Sharma Show, everyone has been waiting for the next move of ace comedian, Sunil Grover.

Initially, the news was doing the rounds that the channel had offered him a new comedy show. But months have passed since then and now it seems the unconfirmed news was just a rumour. But if latest reports are anything to go by, the popular comedian is indeed making a comeback, but on a rival channel.


According to reports, Sunil is in talks with the makers of the forthcoming comedy show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. If things fall into place, the comedian will host the show which is being judged by the versatile actor, Akshay Kumar. The show, reportedly, has an impressive lineup of comedian mentors like Zakir Khan, Mallika Dua and Hussain Dalal.

Reports also suggest that the makers had initially roped in Elli Avram as a host, but then they had a second thought and decided to approach Sunil. An official announcement is expected to come out very soon.

The Great Indian Laughter Challenge will go on air on Star Plus.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
