Comedian-actor Kapil Sharma, who became a rage over the small screen with his "Comedy Nights With Kapil", says he is more keen to do "stand-up comedy and movies" as he loathes TV's working style.

Kapil, lying low for some time due to a back injury, chatted with his fans and followers on micro-blogging site Twitter.

A user quizzed the actor about his preferred medium: "Movies, television, anchoring or standup comedy? What do you love doing the most?"

Kapil, who is awaiting release of his film "Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon", responded: "Stand up comedy and movies... I hate the way TV works."

The actor, who began his ride to fame through a reality TV show "The Great Indian Laughter Challenge", will foray into Bollywood with Abbas-Mustan's directorial.

The comic family entertainer, which also stars Arbaaz Khan, Manjari Fadnis, Simran Kaur Mundi and Elli Avram, will hit the screens on September 25.
