Sunil Grover’s Gutthi now Chutki!
The comedian who was popular for his entertaining role, Gutthi in Comedy Nights with Kapil is all set to entertain us with Chutki
Comedian Sunil Grover, much in the news in the last quarter of 2013 for his hasty exit from Kapil Sharma‘s show is set to resurrect his beloved creation Gutthi in a different avatar on his own show. The show will air on Star Plus later in January, and its promo was shot last week.
The new female character that Grover would introduce on his show would be called Chutki. ”Star Plus and Sunil Grover thought of many variations on Gutthi. They’ve finally decided to call his new female avatar Chutki,” said a source.
Chukti would physically resemble Gutthi, the source said and added: “The get-up and body-language would be similar but not identical. Sunil Grover and the channel want to give a fresh identity to Sunil Grover’s show. They don’t want it to look like a carryover of Kapil Sharma’s show.”
Apparently, the jokes, gags and skits are being consciously planned as being different from Kapil’s show. Plans to pitch Grover’s show bang against “Comedy Night With Kapil” have also been dropped.
“Sunil‘s show has for now been slotted for 8:30 p.m. behind Kapil’s show which comes on at 10 p.m. The idea is to let the two shows co-exist rather than compete against one another…at least for now,” the source said.
Star Plus released their teaser promos for a new comedy show they're doing with none other than Sunil Grover! Yes, your favorite Gutthi will now come onto your TV screens not through Colors TV but on Star Plus.
The rumors of Grover doing a comedy show with Star Plus had been doing the rounds for a few weeks now. It seems they were true. After leaving Comedy Nights with Kapil, Star Plus approached Sunil Grover to do a solo show on the channel. Due to legal troubles, the launch of the show was delayed. But now, it seems, a solution has been found.
Grover will be playing a character named "Chutki", very similar but not the same as Gutthi. The show is expected to go on air later in January or early February.
Here's a sneak peek for you to enjoy!
