Sunil
Grover's
show
Mad
In
India
is
all
set
to
give
tough
competition
to
their
"rival" show
hosted
by
Kapil
Sharma,
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil.
The
new
Star
Plus
show
is
going
to
be
launched
on
February
16th
and
will
be
aired
every
Sunday
at
9
pm.
On
the
show,
Sunil
Grover
will
play
'Chutki',
a
flirty
social
network
addict
hailing
from
the
fictional
city
of
Bharatnagar.
The
cast
supporting
Chutki
will
comprise
Dolly
Ahluwalia
as
Mango
Dolly
and
Shweta
Tiwari
as
Katrina
Mishra,
along
with
other
comedians
like
Khayali,
Siddharth
Jadhav,
Rehman
Khan,
Rajbir
Kaur
and
Paritosh
Tripathi.
Mad
in
India
is
said
to
comprise
of
several
fun
elements
such
as
celebrities,
comic
acts,
glitz
and
glamour
of
the
rich
and
famous
as
well
as
a
peek
into
the
common
man's
life.
The
show
is
divided
into
segments
and
Paul
will
also
be
seen
interviewing
celebrities
in
a
segment.
However,
the
celebrities
section
will
feature
people
from
various
walks
of
life.
The
channel
has
already
shot
two
episodes
of
the
show
with
Baba
Ramdev
in
one
and
Udit
Narayan
and
Mika
together
in
the
other.
Ashish
Golwalkar,
programming
head,
non-fiction,
Star
Plus,
says,
"If
the
content
is
strong,
people
really
don't
care
about
anything
else
as
long
as
you
are
making
them
laugh.
People
keep
drawing
comparisons
and
we
are
aware
of
it.
But,
if
you
look
at
'Mad
in
India'
closely,
it
is
a
very
different
show.
It
will
talk
about
day-to-day
problems
that
we
face
but
will
have
a
funny
take
on
all
of
them.
It's
not
a
satire,
not
a
political
comment,
not
a
show
taking
digs
on
people,
it's
a
show
for,
by
and
of
common
people.
The
chat
with
celebrities
on
the
show
will
be
very
different
from
what
people
have
seen
so
far.
There
will
not
be
audience
interactions
as
such
but
one
will
get
to
see
different
aspects
of
a
celebrity
on
the
show," Golwalkar
adds.
Rajeshwar
Nair,
producer
of
the
show
said,
"We
have
given
everyone
a
very
definitive
character.
It's
about
life
in
a
'mohalla'
and
the
interactions
between
them.
So,
once
you
give
them
strong
characters,
you
just
put
them
in
a
situation,
be
it
corruption
or
anything
and
then
they
themselves
will
evolve.
Conceptually
there
is
no
comparison
to
Kapil's
show
and
that
audiences
will
realise
after
they
watch
the
show."
Well,
by
the
first
look,
there
seems
a
lot
of
similarities
between
the
two
show,
Sunil's
Mad
In
India
definitely
has
a
lot
of
concepts
that
has
proved
successful
in
Kapil's
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil.
Time
only
can
tell
if
the
show
would
manage
to
stand
out
on
its
own
or
will
go
down
as
just
a
show
like
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil.
