In the latest interview, Raju Srivastav said,
“I don’t like it when people say I’ve replaced Sunil. I don’t think any of us can replace one another. We all have our place. Sunil is an old friend, and so is Kapil. I was hoping to bring about a reconciliation between the two. I did call up Sunil a number of times. He said he was out of town and would get back to me as soon as he returned.”
When he was asked about the in-flight brawl between Kapil and Sunil, he said,
“I really don’t know what happened. But when people hear about their favorite comic actor getting drunk, misbehaving… the wrong signal is sent out. People lose faith in the power of comedy to heal and bring happiness.”
Raju also speaks about the importance of the show,
“It’s a big responsibility and you cannot shrug off your responsibility. When a comedian or a comedy show does well, the entire comic fraternity benefits. When Salman Khan charges Rs 50 Crore, only then can Ajay Devgan charge Rs 20 Crore. But if Salman charges 20 (Crore), what would Ajay get?”
Raju also explains how everything is connected in the comedy world:
“It’s like we are all connected and we all have our place. When Kapil asked me to join him I wondered if it was right to do so. All I wanted to do was to bring about a patch-up between Kapil and Sunil. Now I find myself in the show. I can’t say what will happen in the future.”
He also spoke about working with Kapil Sharma,
“Kapil has always been very warm and polite with me. Whatever happened with Sunil and the others should not have happened. I believe there were two other similar incidents previously. Iss baar thoda zyada ho gaya.”
He also opened up about the troubles and said,
“Sunil and others are not coming to the show. Even Sidhu ji is finding it hard to maintain his schedules on the show. But we’ll manage.”
Overall, Raju Srivastav is all set to be back in a new avatar and his inclusion will surely balance the show.
