Firangi: Kapil Sharma to reportedly not promote his upcoming film on TV shows

Kapil Sharma, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film _Firangi_ , will reportedly not promote his film on television shows. According to a DNA report, the comedian, who rose to fame with The Kapil Sharma Show, doesn’t have much options for promoting his show on television. Before going off-air, TKSS served as a promotional platform for films and was always swamped with celebrities. Now that the show has discontinued, Sharma does not have enough space on the TV circuit to generate buzz around his film.

Therefore, he will only publicise the film on selected platforms. The film is  based on the story of a local boy (played by Sharma) who falls in love with an NRI girl. Having acted in the 2015 comedy Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, Firangi will be Sharma’s second outing as a leading actor. The director describes the film as “light-hearted look at the pre-Freedom era.” Releasing on 24 November after all the big Diwali releases — Golmaal Again, Secret Superstar and Mersal, Firangi stars Ishita Dutta and Monica Gill in parallel roles.
