SHOCKING TRUTH: ‘Gutthi’ Sunil Grover VS ‘Bittoo’ Kapil Sharma

Gutthi-Bittoo-000

Gutthi (Sunil Grover) and Bittoo (Kapil Sharma), and that awesome family – Mrs. Sharma, Dadi, Bua, Palak and their servant. These are names of few characters, who made Comedy Nights with Kapil India’s most watched TV show ever.

Sunil Grover, who literally took the audience by storm with his stellar performance as Gutthi is finally never going to return on the show. This was a forgone conclusion. Gutthi was getting exceedingly popular, not just with the audience, but also with the celebrity guests on the show.

While, Kapil Sharma was the one string which connected the entire show. There were lots of differences between Kapil and Sunil, and the later decided to walk out of the show, leaving everyone guessing the reason.

Various reasons for this fall out are doing rounds in the media, like “creative differences between Kapil and Sunil”, and “Kapil was feeling insecure with the growing popularity of Gutthi” and also “Sunil demanded a raise” and so on.

“I am still trying to figure out what went wrong. It started with contractual issues between Sunil and the channel. Later, I got this feeling that Sunil was disconnected from the show. He then wanted a break to travel. The next thing we heard was that he was planning his own show. So, I guess the association was destined to end. There is no bad blood, Sunil is like a brother,” Kapil Sharma was quoted as saying to a newspaper.

On the other hand, when asked if he wanted more money, Sunil said, “The money I asked for was reasonable, and the channel agreed eventually. So, that’s not why I quit. I don’t want to say anything more as the show has made me what I am today.”

When Comedy Nights with Kapil was in it’s early episodes, nobody had thought that Sunil’s character would become so popular. This was the reason he was not contracted by the channel. Sunil had a contract with the production house, which expired a month and a half ago. Finally, he has stopped shooting entirely.

Kapil Sharma says that he feels proud of every actor in his team. He is very clear that all the characters are “created by him”, and sends on his best wishes for Sunil. Kapil feels that every artist has the right to grow. “Sunil is in the industry since long, and it’s entirely his choice, if he wants to be a part of Comedy Nights… or not,” added Kapil.

Sunil Grover has finally come out in the open, and has made it very clear that is never going to come back on the show. He is onto something, but as of now nobody knows what he is planning.

FINALLY, HERE WE ARE WITH THE SHOCKING TRUTH:

Post the success of Comedy Nights with Kapil, every TV channel wanted a show like that. When Colors itself can get inspired by the International Emmy Award winner, British show The Kumars at No. 42, then why can’t other broadcasters follow the same?

As of what we know, Star Plus initially approached Bharti Singh to host a show on similar lines. Bharti politely declined the offer, stating that she is not ready to shoulder an entire show on her own. She also didn’t like the idea of being confined to a particular channel.

All this while, Star Plus was still desperately looking for a suitable host. If all goes well, then Sunil Grover would be hosting his own show on Star Plus. While we are filing this report, Star Plus and Sunil are in the process of developing a show, which could give stiff competition to Comedy Nights with Kapil.

Sunil Grover would be seen in various characters in this new show, and is most likely to revive Gutthi with a new name and style for Star Plus.
