Kapil Sharma is set to return with Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show on OTT, and fans are buzzing with excitement. During the announcement event, Sharma shared light-hearted anecdotes, teased what’s in store, and made a surprising revelation: British band Coldplay had expressed interest in appearing on the show.
Known for their back-to-back concerts in India and a massive fan base, Coldplay reportedly reached out via email to be part of the comedy series. Kapil recalled the unexpected offer humorously: “Humlog toh inko (makers) bole pura saal set lagake rakhho. Aap believe nahi karoge log Coldplay ke liye ticket le rahe hain, unka email humein aa raha tha humein aapke show mein aana.’ Humne kaha le toh aate, humara chal nahi raha abhi. Toh, it’s a humble request for Netflix– guys, please keep going on,” Kapil quipped. (We told the makers to keep the set ready all year. You won’t believe it—while people were buying Coldplay tickets, they emailed us saying they wanted to come on our show. I told them, ‘You should have come, but our show wasn’t running.’ So I humbly request Netflix: please keep it going.)
The comedian also joked about his infamous spat with co-star Sunil Grover when Maniesh Paul asked what viewers could expect from the new season. “Season 3 toh inke liye, humare liye toh ek aur episode hain. Humein toh aadat padhi hain 200 episode ka serial. Wo bhi hum tab tak nahi bandh karte jab tak humara khud ka ladai na ho jaye.” (Season 3 is for them, but for us, it’s just another episode. We’re used to doing 200-episode series and don’t stop until we fight ourselves.)
Previous seasons of The Great Indian Kapil Show featured Kapil Sharma as host alongside Archana Puran Singh, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur, Krushna Abhishek, and Sunil Grover.
