I don t know what s in it – Sunil Grover disowns Coffee With D

In a bizarre turn of events, just hours before the release of the much-discussed Dawood satire Coffee With D, the film s leading man and its only point of interest Sunil Grover says he will have nothing to do with the film.

It s very simple. I haven t been shown the film. I don t know what the content is. I asked the producer-director Vishal Mishra repeatedly to be shown the film, and he kept saying I ll be shown the film. But eventually he didn t show it to me. Aaj-kal-aaj-kal mein waqt nikal gaya. Now it s too late, says Grover whose comic act on the Kapil Sharma Show has made him a household name.

Why was he not shown the film? I don t know, Sunil shrugs. Only they can answer that. But I ceased to promote the film when I realized they won t show it to me.

Shockingly Sunil also reveals that the Open Letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi that was released by the film s producers was not his. I never wrote that Open letter to Modiji. Anyone who knows me would know that isn t my language at all. The film s makers released that letter without my consent.
