BREAKING: Kapil Sharma won t promote Firangi on television

There is a rather cruel joke that Kapil Sharma told me about his new film Firangi: Everyone promoted their films on my show. But now where will I go? Kapil who is back from rehabilitation and now in the pink of health was drawing attention to the fact that his super-popular show where stars made a beeline to promote their films has been temporarily closed down, thereby leaving no space for his own 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 Firangi. Rajiev Dhingra who directs Firangi and 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 was. It s a light-hearted look at the pre-Freedom era, but not a comedy. We are opening on 24 November after the big Diwali releases have settled down.
