Never thought Gutthi will become so big: Sunil

Comedian Sunil Grover, who rose to fame with his on-screen character "Gutthi", never expected to become so famous. He will soon be seen in his own show "Mad In India" as "Chutki" and wishes that this too catches on fast.

"I want it to be as popular and that the audience should be able to connect with it. I never thought that Gutthi will become as big as it did," Sunil told IANS in an interview.

Sunil's exit from "Comedy Nights With Kapil" sparked off many rumours, however the actor did not want to "dwell in the past". He further added that the character was a hit due to many factors.

"Firstly the platform was very big, secondly the actor behind the character (was good). Thirdly, I come from a small place and have seen how people were around me and I shared those experiences," he said.

Sunil said that his new comedy show, which will be aired on Star Plus from Feb 16, will be a complete package.

"The show will have madness, happiness, smiles and a lot of fun. The audience will have a good time. I cannot reveal the format as of now, but we will be celebrating the madness in India," he said.

The show, which will be hosted by Manish Paul, will also include Dolly Ahluwalia and Siddharth Jadhav.
