According to sources close to the development, Kapil Sharma has signed on for Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 and is excited to make his return to the comic space—more details to follow.
In 2015, Kapil Sharma made his big-screen acting debut with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, directed by Abbas-Mustan. The film turned out to be a sleeper hit, grossing Rs 43 crore in India. A tribute to David Dhawan’s classic comedies, the movie followed the protagonist’s humorous and complicated romantic journey with four female leads. Now, nine years later, producer Ratan Jain, along with Abbas-Mustan and Kapil Sharma, are reuniting for the sequel, titled Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2.
Sources close to the project have revealed that Kapil Sharma has officially signed on for the sequel and is eager to return to his comic roots. “After experimenting with various genres, Kapil is excited to come back with a pure comedy. He’s approved the script and is expected to begin filming by the end of this year,” shared an insider.
The source further explained that Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 will be directed by Anukalp Goswami, one of the key writers of the original film. “Anukalp has not only written the script but will also direct it. Abbas-Mustan will creatively supervise the project, ensuring their signature touch is present. Ratan Jain is producing the film,” the source added.
The casting process for the female leads is currently underway, with multiple actresses being considered, much like the first installment. “The film will again be a comic caper, centered around Kapil’s character and the ensuing chaos,” the source concluded.
Kapil Sharma, who first made a name for himself in the entertainment industry through his successful TV career, is now gearing up to reignite the excitement on the big screen. 
Kapil Sharma on dealing with depression
Kapil Sharma, who is set to return to the big screen with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 the sequel to his debut movie, recently opened up about his battle with depression during the promotions of Zwigato on Aaj Tak’s Seedhi Baat. Reflecting on his struggles, Kapil shared, “As a public figure, crores of people know you, you entertain them, but when you come home, you are alone.”
He further explained the isolation that comes with fame, saying, “You are not in a situation to live a normal life where you can go out, sit on the beach, and look at the sea. You live in a two-room flat, and when it’s dark outside by evening, I cannot explain how bad the feeling is in that situation.”
Kapil also revealed the depth of his despair, admitting, “In that phase, I thought about committing suicide. I felt there was nobody with whom I could share what I was going through. Where I come from, mental health is not something that is discussed. I don’t think this was the first time I went through this phase—maybe during childhood, I must have felt low, but nobody would have noticed.”
