Comedy icons Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover delighted fans by announcing their reunion show on Netflix, nearly 5 years after their infamous mid-air feud.
In a promo released by the streaming giant, the duo could be seen engaging in lighthearted banter hinting at the 2017 incident that led to Sunil’s exit from ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’.
When Kapil insists they should visit Australia for the new show too, Sunil chuckles, “Iss baar by air nahi jayenge. We won’t travel by air this time.”
“We’ll go by road,” Kapil promptly agrees, as the duo burst out laughing – alluding to the turbulent Mumbai-India flight when an allegedly drunk Kapil had abused and assaulted Sunil.
The ugly spat caused Sunil, who played fan-favorite Mashoor Gulati on TKSS, to promptly quit the show at the peak of its popularity. He was replaced by Kiku Sharda while numerous attempts by producers to broker peace failed.
But time seems to have healed the wounds now, with Sunil himself revealing the new Netflix project on his birthday this year.

“I am excited and happy to collaborate with my old friends and entertain audiences with our comedy,” said the ace comedian on his big reunion.
Fans celebrated the news, stating it was a ‘dream come true’ to see the iconic Kapil-Sunil duo back in action 5 years after splitting.
