The creator of comedy show 'The Kumars at No 42', Sanjeev Bhaskar, revealed the sitcom would be back on screens later this year and will have actor Hugh Jackman as the guest star.
"We've got these sketches that we do in the show now. Hugh Jackman has done one for us. Zoe Wanamaker's done one for us as well," Bhaskar.
Bhaskar hinted that the star's part would involve a trampoline. It was announced last year, that after a six-year hiatus, the comedy show had a new home on Sky1, reported Daily Mirror.
Bhaskar added that Jackman had done a couple of the sketches for them and shot them on one of his off days while filming "Les Miserables".

"I asked him if he would do me a huge favour and shoot something," he said.
"In the end he rather kindly, between filming scenes, came away and did a couple of things for us. So he's a great guy," he added.
