Kapil Sharma won’t promote his film 'Firangi' on TV, here's why

Kapil Sharma, who is back from rehab and has recovered from exhaustion, is now gearing up for his film release. 

He is worried about promoting his home production Firangi, which has him in the lead role. “Everyone  promoted their films on my show. But now where will I go?” he asks. 

Kapil, is referring to the fact that his popular show —the Kapil Sharma Show — where stars made a beeline to promote their movies has been temporarily discontinued, thereby leaving no space for his film’s promotion, at least none that Kapil would like to use.

One learns that Kapil’s new film Firangi won’t be promoted on the usual channels and shows. Apparently, Kapil will do very selected publicity for the film.

Rajiv Dhingra, director of Firangi, who is also Kapil’s best friend explains, “There is no need for Kapil to go from show-to-show. He is a household name on television.

Firangi is not a comedy like his first feature film Kiss Kiss Ko Pyar Karoon. It’s a  lighthearted look at the pre-Freedom era, but not a comedy. We are opening on November 24, after the big Diwali releases have settled down.”
