Kapil Sharma is all set to return to movies with Zwigato in which he will be essaying the role of a common delivery man. Amidst promoting the same, the actor-comedian recalled the time when he was in depression and started missing out shoots, cancelling them, and how his work had suffered when he was undergoing a bad phase. In the same statement, the actor expressed his gratitude towards superstar Shah Rukh Khan who reached out to him and encouraged him to take the right path. In an interaction with Aaj Tak, Kapil Sharma recalled the times when he used to cancel shoots and the actor was asked if this behavior left any of the star angry. Responding to it, Kapil added, “Nobody got angry. The format of my show is such that I cannot be late even if I tried. We have to shoot multiple segments throughout the day… But yes, there were times when I backed out at the last moment because I didn’t think I could go through with it… “ Continuing further about the SRK incident, Kapil said, “When Shah Rukh Khan’s shoot got cancelled, he met me three or four days later. He had come to the same studio for something. Maybe, as an artist, he understood what was happening. He is a superstar, after all, and he has seen everything in this industry. He called me to his car, we sat for an hour, and talked. He asked me, ‘Drugs leta hai?‘. I told him I don’t take drugs, but I no longer feel like working. He told me some very nice things, counselled me. But this is one of those situations that you can’t improve unless you yourself want to.” Kapil Sharma, who continues to host the popular show The Kapil Sharma Show on Sony TV, was last seen in the film Firangi in 2017. As for Zwigato, the film also stars Shahana Goswami, Tushar Acharya, among others.
