Kapil Sharma is all set to make his comeback on television with his new comedy show – to be produced by Salman Khan’s production banner – and will begin shooting for it from December 16, a leading daily reports. His comedy series, The Kapil Sharma Show, went off air in 2017 after the TRPs dropped drastically following the comedian’s mid-air fight with then co-star Sunil Grover.

Kapil, as per reports that surfaced in October, was unable to convince producers to support his show and that is when Salman stepped in as sources said that the new season of the comedy series will be produced under the 52-year-old actor’s banner.

The show, according to the report, is expected to premiere in January 2019 as the channel wants to ensure its perfect execution instead of rushing into things. The format of the show will be the same as before as celebrities will make an appearance on it to promote their films or other projects.
