Kapil Sharma apparently turned prudish and didn't want to promote erotic thriller 'Hate Story 2' on his show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil'

He apparently didn’t wish to promote Sunny Leone’s film on his show and now it has emerged that Kapil Sharma is apparently not keen to have the cast of erotic thriller, Hate Story 2, on his show either. Comedy Nights With Kapil (CMWK) is a popular choice among films stars to promote their films and so it’s no surprise that Kapil was approached to have the film’s cast, Jay Bhanushali and Surveen Chawla on his show.

Says a source, “They refused to integrate with Hate Story 2 as they felt that the subject of the film was risqué and bold. The film folk were told that CNWK is meant for family audiences, but at the same time Kapil cracks jokes with sexual innuendos on the show.”


Adds the source, “As Jay and Surveen are TV actors, the film’s makers felt that it was a good way to promote their show. But they were taken aback when their request was turned down.”

Last December, Kapil had allegedly expressed reservations about inviting Sunny Leone for promoting her film Jackpot on his show because of her past work as an adult film actress. Later, however, he merrily hobnobbed with her at a celebrity cricket match in Dubai and even offered to teach her Hindi. In March, when Sunny’s film Ragini MMS 2 released, he had her on her show as a guest with producer Ekta Kapoor.

Adds the source, “As Sunny has done the item number, Pink Lips in Hate Story, the makers were willing to send Sunny instead, but there was no keenness shown in return.”

The production house and channel were unavailable for comment.
