Paresh Rawal recently highlighted the intense competition comedy films face from television, especially from The Great Indian Kapil Show. Currently earning widespread praise for his performance in Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla, Rawal shared his thoughts on how the comedy genre is battling tough rivals on small screens and digital platforms. He also praised Sunil Grover, calling him a “volcano” of talent.
Paresh Rawal Praises Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil Grover’s Talent
In an interview with Moneycontrol, Paresh Rawal said, “When you see The Kapil Sharma Show and the kind of talent Sunil Grover has, they are immensely talented—like a volcano of talent. Competing with that kind of comedy requires a change in mindset; otherwise, it’s nearly impossible. Writing comedy and maintaining it is very challenging. Even there, the comedy is crafted by a team of 10–15 people. Here, producers often don’t even have the budget to hire one writer, so where will they find 15?”
He further added, “It’s a tough time for comedy. Every day, there’s competition. Kapil Sharma’s show is a daily challenge to any comedy film. Sometimes they go over the top, but that’s beside the point. Still, they set a benchmark and provide stiff competition.”
Sunil Grover’s Comedy Praise
Sunil Grover has been receiving widespread acclaim for his remarkable mimicry skills, effortlessly slipping into the personas of some of the industry’s biggest stars. Whether it’s SS Rajamouli, Aamir Khan, or Salman Khan, his spot-on impressions have left audiences stunned, earning him the nickname of a “shapeshifter” for his convincing transformations.
