Popular TV anchor-actor Manish Paul has dismissed rumours that he is teaming up with comedian Sunil Grover aka Gutthi of "Comedy Nights With Kapil" for a new humour-based show on the tube.
"I am not planning anything with anyone as of now. There is nothing of this sort as yet," Manish told reporters here Wednesday at the red carpet of Big Star Entertainment Awards, when asked about a possible association with Sunil.
He added: "Even I have heard these stories, but I will definitely tell you when everything will get finalised."
Rumour mills were abuzz with news that Sunil, who played the popular character Gutthi in "Comedy Nights With Kapil", is planning to come up with his own comedy show on a TV channel, and that Manish was in talks for it too.
However, Manish is currently busy with his film "Tere Bin Laden 2".
"After that I will soon be back on TV with a show, but nothing is finalised as of yet," he added.
"Tere Bin Laden 2", directed by Abhishek Sharma, will hit the theatres next year. Manish made his Bollywood debut with "Mickey Virus".
