Ace comic actor Kapil Sharma has quite often been alleged to have a drinking issue, which is also indirectly blamed for the downfall of his once famous show ‘The Kapil Sharma Show.’ During the trailer launch of his upcoming film ‘Firangi’, Kapil candidly spoke about the problem.

‘I cancelled a lot of programmes; like recently I cancelled a programme for the BSF in Delhi. I really wanted to do a show for soldiers like this. When I started my show, I went to the Wagah border,’ the comedian told the media. ‘I got to realise that I drink everyday to escape my problems. So I have decided to reduce it,’ he added.

The stand-up comedian further said, ‘Now, I feel a bit happy by coming in front of you all and also opening about my problems.” Kapil added that his mother was not informed about the cancellation of his show and controversies surrounding it. ‘My mother was not informed about the issue. She was told that there was a strike, due to which the shoot was cancelled. She’s too innocent, but later on, she came to know about the whole incident,’ he said.

The ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’ actor also revealed that there is no bad blood between him and co-star Sunil Grover despite of the infamous mid-air fight between them. He even said that he had called Grover for the launch of his new movie but the actor is currently out of the country busy with another show in Canada.

‘Firangi’ is an upcoming historical period drama film set in the year 1920 and is directed by Rajiev Dhingra. Apart from Kapil, the cast includes Ishita Dutta and Monica Gill. It is slated to release on November 24, 2017.

The pre-independence era and British rule was possibly one of the toughest times to live in. On one hand where people’s hearts were burning with raging revolt and unparalled love for their country, the British were going to extreme lengths to crush that mutiny under their feet. While, our freedom fighters fought with their blood, sweat and tears; we don’t think there was anyone who openly dared to kick the Britishers in their ass. But, our beloved Kapil Sharma did exactly that and instead of getting killed, he got himself a job under a British officer (someone who was kicked by him). This is the premise of Sharma’s upcoming movie ‘Firangi’, which is in reality as desi as one can expect it to be.

Instead of tickling your funny bones, Sharma will actually be seen in a different avatar. He plays a young man who feels that British aren’t bad people. He eventually falls in love with a girl but things backfire when the whole village turns against him thinking he is a traitor working for the British and try to kill him. How will he prove his innocence and convince the villagers and his lover about Britishers not being bad, weaves the rest of the plot. 

 

The trailer packs a lot of funny, intense and romantic moments, which makes this movie a complete entertainer and with Kapil being at the center of this film, you can be ensured that you won’t get bored while watching it. The movie is directed by Rajiev Dhingra and stars Ishita Dutta as his love interest. This film also marks Kapil’s foray into production. From playing comedy roles, romancing multiple women at a time to playing a serious role like this, Kapil has come a long way in Bollywood and we don’t think there’s anything that’s stopping him. 

The movie is slated to release on November 24.
