Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega Host Sunil Grover Is Coming Up With The Comedy Family by Suhel Johar.


Indeed the two comedians, Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover, have parted ways and the separation has neither been surprising or amicable, but whatever followed the news of their separation has been more disheartening for Kapil Sharma. Nothing has gone in Kapil Sharma‘s favour ever since his inflight brawl with Sunil Grover. He not only got slammed by his own fans but by fellow TV actors as well. No amount of apologetic tweets could salvage the situation for him. The show may have finished its 100th episode recently but the future looks bleak for the show. Sony, the channel that airs the show, is in no mood to renew their contract with the comedian-actor which means it is the end of the road for The Kapil Sharma Show.

The channel is definitely not ready to pay Rs 107 crore for a show which is getting them nothing. Kapil might negotiate but the channel heads are shocked and have decided to scrap it. All the tricks in the book, to lure the audience back to the show, have failed and the show has fallen flat. The Kapil Sharma Show going off air seems imminent now and it’s just a matter of time when an official announcement is made in this regard. This is how big a price Kapil Sharma has had to pay for his drunken fight with Sunil Grover on that fateful flight. Sony is in the process of reviving its Salman Khan show Dus Ka Dum. At the moment Sony TV has been in communication with Salman Khan and if they are able to strike a deal Dus Ka Dum is most likely to replace The Kapil Sharma Show.

Ever since the fight happened, even rival channel Colors (who have a long standing issue with Kapil) had approached Sunil for a show but he did not show any interest in it. Because it is no secret that Sony TV chose to be by side in his fight with Kapil Sharma.

After quitting the Kapil Sharma Show, Sunil has been seen on Sony’s Indian Idol finale, where he had the audience in splits and the episode was a huge success. He made his latest appearance on Sony TV’s Sabse Bada Kalakar along with Ali Asghar, last weekend. Sunil re-enacted Dr. Mashoor Gulati while Ali Asgar played a nurse in the show and regaled everyone with their comedy act.
 
And now it looks like Sunil Grover may have finally found his next project: The upcoming season of Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega. Reportedly, Sony had promised the show to Sunil after his fight with Kapil Sharma. So, there are chances of him hosting this show, which is slated to air post IPL in June.

The first season of the show in 2009 was hosted by Mona Singh and Vishal Malhotra, and the judges were Anu Malik and Farah Khan. The last season was hosted by Krushna Abhishek and Mona Singh, but it seems this season Sunil will entertain as a host. Anu Malik and Farah Khan are likely to continue as judges, though the makers are looking at bringing in some more people. Incidentally, Krushna Abhishek and Mona Singh, are hosting a similar show India Banega Manch on Colors TV.

Till the time Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega goes on air Sunil has been busy doing live shows and gigs in the character of Dr. Mashoor Gulati from the The Kapil Sharma Show part from making appearances on Sony TV’s other shows. Sony has copyrights to his characters - Rinku bhabi and Dr Mashoor Gulati - and they also earn a chunk of money from his live shows where he performs in his avatars.
 
Sunil Grover’s next live show called The Comedy Family will be held in Ahmedabad on May 27, this year. Joining him in the show will be Ali Asghar, Chandan Prabhakar and Sugandha Mishra who left the show along with him. Roshni Chopra and Dr. Sanket Bhosale both of whom who were part of The Kapil Sharma Show will also participate in the The Comedy Family live show.

We can see in the The Comedy Family show poster how Sunil Grover has taken a place at the centre. Instead of Kapil Sharma, he is going to be the showman, and all the characters who have been missing from the The Kapil Sharma Show are going to be seen as well along with Sunil.

Entertaining millions across the world, might be their core strength, but these celebs don't want to stop at that. While ditching the paparazzi and sizzling in front of the camera take up most of their time, many Bollywood A-listers have shown their hospitality business acumen too time and again. There is also a growing trend in the actors getting their own themed restaurants dedicated to them that are promoted by their businessman fans. The actors who lend their name to such franchises not only get an ego boost but also an equal share in the profits. The actors who don't have restaurants themed on them, well they are just opening their own by themselves!

Play Review - Ladies Sangeet by Suhel Johar

Image
Ladies Sangeet Is A Hard-Hitting Story Filled With Compassion, Sympathy And Trauma.   It was after quite some time that I got to go to Prithvi Theatre at Juhu, Mumbai. It’s always been such a pleasure to be there and soak in its soothing atmosphere. So when I was invited to watch the Hindi-English play Ladies Sangeet play I just couldn’t refuse. And was I happy or disappointed? Well it was a pleasure to sit through Ladies Sangeet and watch the play. Set in an urban Indian household Ladies Sangeet began with marriage preparations in a haveli or an ancestral home. Since music is an integral part of an Indian wedding celebration, it forms the backdrop of playwright – director Purva Naresh’s Hindi-English play Ladies Sangeet . Just before the event, various conflicts that have wound its members up over the years unspool. The multi-layered play explores gender dynamics and has as its core the conflicting issues between contemporary and tradionality. It raises some hardcore
