Actor-comic Sunil Grover says Salman Khan approached him to be a part of his former collaborator Kapil Sharma's comeback show but he declined due to scheduling issues.
There have been rumours that Salman, who has produced Kapil's new comedy TV gig, has been trying to mediate a patch-up between the ex co-stars.
The 41-year-old actor, who is part of Salman's "Bharat", confirms the superstar brought it up in a discussion.
"Salman sir is producing that show. My own dates would have clashed (with Kapil's show) as I am doing a film with Salman sir. This show that I am doing for Star Plus fitted in the window that I had.
"But he (Salman) did speak to me briefly about it (bringing two of us together). We had a very casual chat about it but nothing much," Sunil told PTI.
When asked if he is ready to work with Kapil again, he says, "Time will tell, God will tell. Right now I am concentrating on my show and hope I am able to bring a smile on everyone's faces."
"There are hundreds of shows that are made every year and only three-four turn out to be hits. The attempt always is to connect with the audience. I took this up as the show has a nice vibe. But there was some nervousness about how it will work and all."
Talking about the comparisons, the comedian, says, "We love comparisons. We often love to compare ourselves - be it personally or professionally. But each individual has their own unique quality."
"There is so much of stress around and such shows only make viewers happy. I wish good luck to both the shows."
