Kapil Sharma to sacrifice Comedy Nights with Kapil for his YRF film (see pics)

Kapil Sharma, the host and producer of popular TV show "Comedy Nights with Kapil", is set to embark on a movie career and he says the show would have to revert to its one-episode-per-week format




Given the time constraints, he says he has to cut down his television show by half.

"I've no choice but to do this. The channel Colors doesn't want me to do the show only once a week. But for the sake of the film, I've no choice but to cut down my television show by half," said the comedian, who has waited a very long time to do a movie.

"I didn't want to just carry over my 'Comedy Nights' image into my movie career. When I heard the script of 'Bank Chor', I was completely taken up. It allows me room not only for comic scenes, but there is also an element of seriousness in the story," he said.
