While Kapil Sharma has been a part of a series of commercially successful projects in his career, not many know that he started his cinematic journey with a Box Office failure. While the movie bombed, it still has its name registered in the Guinness Book of World Records.
New Delhi: These days, social media is filled with comedians. While some try to win hearts by mimicking famous personalities, others attempt to dominate the world of the Internet with their stand-up comedy. However, there is one humorous genius in India whose prowess is unmatched. Well, no prizes for guessing! Here, we are talking about none other than Kapil Sharma.
In the past few years, the 44-year-old star has not only ruled the realm of television but also made his mark on OTT as well. While he enjoys immense fame and popularity all over, not many know that he made his cinematic debut in 2010. No, we are not kidding. Although the film flopped badly at the Box Office, it still registered its name in the Guinness Book of World Records.
You will be amazed to know that Kapil made an appearance in Bhavnao Ko Samjho more than a decade ago. It is to be noted that he did not play the lead role in the flick. Instead, Kapil was featured in a small character role.
For the unversed, Bhavnao Ko Samjho was directed by renowned comedian Sunil Pal, who emerged victorious in the inaugural season of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. According to TV9Hindi, citing information, this film was made on a budget of Rs 1 crore. Shockingly, it did not collect even half of its budget. The movie opened to negative reviews from critics.
Bhavnao Ko Samjho ended up being a Box Office bomb. Now, let's talk about the record that the flick scripted! The comedy film featured 47 professional stand-up comedians, including Siraj Khan, Johnny Lever, Raju Srivastav, Navin Prabhakar, Ahsaan Qureshi, Sudesh Lehri and many others. Due to the inclusion of an array of famous comedians together in a single project, Bhavnao Ko Samjho was named in the Guinness Book of World Records.
