In a bid to tackle unruly behaviour, airline Air India is reportedly planning to warn stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma who assaulted fellow comedian Sunil Grover on a recent Australia-India flight.


According to a report in Times Of India, Air India chief Ashwani Lohani had sought a report on the inflight behaviour of Kapil Sharma and the warning, the exact nature of which is being finalised, is likely to be issued this week.


Incidentally, Jayant Sinha, Minister of State for Civil Aviation, earlier tweeted condemning the unruly beahaviour on flights and promised 'appropriate action'.

Meanwhile, Sunil Grover announced his new gig with Kiku Sharda following his fall out with Kapil Sharma. Sunil Grover's upcoming gig is scheduled to happen in Delhi on April 1.

Following an in-flight tussle between him and Kapil, Sunil Grover posted a note on social media in which he asked the latter to "start respecting human beings also apart from animals."

Sunil Grover, who plays the popular characters of Dr Gulati and Rinku Bhabhi on Kapil's show, further wrote, "Thanks for making me realise it was your show and you have power to throw out anybody, anytime.

"You are the wittiest, and the best in your field. But don't act like a 'God'. Take good care of yourself. Wish you lot more success and fame."

Kapil Sharma had dismissed their feud as 'an argument' in a Facebook post but Sunil Grover, has indicated that all is not well between them.

Kapil Sharma also took to Twitter to apologise to Sunil Grover, saying, "Sorry if I hurt you unintentionally. You know very well how much I love you. I am also upset. Love and regards."

Meanwhile, there is buzz that Kapil Sharma is considering bringing arch rival Krushna Abhishek on his comedy show 'The Kapil Sharma Show' as Sunil Grover's replacement.

Sunil has stayed off the set of 'The Kapil Sharma Show' over the altercation. Co-artistes Chandan Prabhakar and Ali Asgar, who were also at the receiving end of Kapil's 'drunken rage', have chosen to stay away from the set too. The producers, along with the channel officials, had to rope in a bunch of stand-up comics, including Sunil Pal, Raju Shrivastav and Ahsaan Qureshi, to keep the show going.

Now, Raju has intervened to bring Sunil back on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', on the headline act's insistence.  To ensure that Raju's peace meeting with Sunil Grover is successful, he would also like to involve Kapil's mother, who is often seen sitting in the audience.

With Sunil Grover unlikely to return to the set post the ugly fallout, a question mark hangs over 'The Kapil Sharma Show'. The show is up for renewal next month with insiders saying it'd be a Rs 106-crore deal. But as co-acts Sunil, Ali Asgar and Chandan Prabhakar keep away, Kapil has introduced other stand-up artistes. The channel, however, isn't too happy about it and is apparently considering pulling the plug on its top-rated programme.
