However the channel has now decided to steer clear of the Kapil factor.
Says a source, `Star has decided to not taken on Comedy Nights With Kapil. Though Sunil Grover's show would be formated like Kapil's show it won't be telecast at the same time.`
Grover's show is expected to begin in March 2014.
Apparently Sunil and Kapil have met and discussed the issue and called for a collective truce.
Confront Sunil Grover over the confrontation with Kapil, and Sunil says, `We are very much at peace with one another.At the moment I can't tell you much about my show except that we aren't looking at taking on Kapil, or anyone else. I am happy in my own space.Also, I don't want to see the show as the sum-total of my career. It will only be a stopover.`
However Gutthi will re-appear in Sunil's own show. `There 's no getting away from her. My fans enjoy watching Gutthi. Recently I hosted an awards function with Shreyas Talpade and I was asked to appear on stage as Gutthi. I preferred to play another woman character.`
Sunil Grover feels 2013 has brought him tremendous recognition. `There was a time when I used to stand by the roadside and eat oily pakodas from off a piece of newspaper, That scrap of paper under my pakodas would always have the face of some entertainer or the other. Now I hope to see my own face peeping at me from under the pakodas. I know Gutthi has got me a lot of attention. And I am not ready to give her up. But at the same time there's a lot more to me`
