Kapil Sharma To Play Himself In Bio-Pic

Stand-up comedian  Kapil Sharma has had a fairly  eventful  life. From an anonymous  wannabe in Amritsar  to a struggling comic  in  Mumbai  to Superstar, his  journey  has been fairly craggy, with reports of  several psychological breakdowns  and  fights with team members  placing a  huge  question mark on his  popularity  .

Producer Mahavir  Jain and director Mrighdeep Lamba(of  Fukrey fame) are now getting together for a bio-pic on the life and fuck-ups  of Kapil Sharma . The film to be titled  Fun-kaar(with the pun on fun) will be a no-holds-barred  lifestory on Sharma  leaving none  of  the  sordid details   out.

Says a source very close  to the project, “Kapil  has given  Mahavir Jain  the consent  to  make the  film  as honestly as  humanly possible.”

While Kapil refused to comment on the  bio-pic I  remember one of my conversations with Kapil where he had spoken on the  possibility  of  his story being told  in a film. “Sir, jab banegi toh poore shiddat se banegi(it will be done with great  dignity). I don’t want anything  to be  hidden.Main  vaisa  aadmi nahin  hoon.”

While  Kapil is to be played  by Kapil  himself  all the supporting roles   will feature professional actors as Kapil’s  colleagues  including friend-turned-foe  Sunil Grover. The real   fun would be to get Grover  to play himself.
