Stand-up comedian Raju Srivastava took to twitter on Thursday to confirm that he's currently busy shooting for the upcoming episodes of The Kapil Sharma Show.
After Sunil Grover's fallout with Kapil, the reports of Raju Srivastava being roped in as his replacement were doing the rounds as soon as he appeared as a guest in one of the recent episodes along with comedians Sunil Pal and Ahsaan Qureshi.
Clarifying that he is not taking Sunil Grover’s place on The Kapil Sharma Show, ace comedian Raju Srivastava told that he has joined the comedy show as a new member and makers are trying to build a permanent character for him.
“There’s no agreement signed regarding me joining the show but when I shot it last week, Kapil told me he enjoyed working with me and would like to call me again. Then I shot yesterday. Again Kapil said, ‘I really like your style. I have a script tailor-made for you.’ So, I am going to shoot today as well. In fact, talks are already done for the next one. I am working on the show and it is for a long haul.”
Raju has told that he has indeed joined Kapil’s show and his stint would be a long one. “There’s no agreement signed regarding me joining the show but when I shot it last week, Kapil told me he enjoyed working with me and would like to call me again. Then I shot yesterday. Again Kapil said, ‘I really like your style. I have a script tailor-made for you.’ So, I am going to shoot today as well. In fact, talks are already done for the next one. I am working on the show and it is for a long haul.”
Raju is close to both Kapil and Sunil and hence is trying to facilitate a patch-up. “I have been trying hard to sort out things between them but as per the current situation, Sunil seems to be very angry. Whenever I have texted him in these days, his replies have been such, ‘Paaji I am travelling. I will tell you everything when we will meet.’ Ali and Chandan also agree with Sunil as they say that Kapil has changed now. He is not how he used to be earlier. There’s no update on their return as well,” Raju revealed.
Kapil, on the other hand, seems to be confident about Sunil’s return. Raju said. “When I asked him about it last week, he said, “We will sit and talk and things will sort out. ‘Do-do peg maareinge, sab sahi hojayega,’ he joked with me.”
But Sunil Grover’s tweet suggested otherwise. The actor-comedian made it very clear that he is hurt by the entire incident and is in no mood to get back to the show anytime soon.
He wrote, “Just one advice start respecting human beings also apart from animals. All are not as successful as you are. All are not as talented as you are. But if they all are talented like you, who will value you. So, have some gratitude towards their existence.”
