Sunil back as Gutthi!

Sunil Grover returned to Comedy Nights With Kapil as Bittoo’s (Kapil) father-in-law last week. But soon, he will back to playing Gutthi! “Gutthi and Palak (Kiku Sharda) will reunite and try to woo Akshay Kumar who will be appearing on the show to promote his film Entertainment,” says a source. When Sunil was tipped to return to the comedy show, the makers were clear that he will not be playing Gutthi because in his absence, Palak and Dadi (Ali Asgar) had taken over that space and become big! However, looks like Sunil cannot escape his popular Gutthi avatar! Says the source, “Gutthi had a good chemistry with Akshay when he had come on the show earlier. So the makers thought they can get a recall value by getting Gutthi back in the episode which has the Khiladi. Even Gutthi and Ranbir Kapoor made a good combination, so if and when he comes on the show again, she will be back. Otherwise Sunil will continue to play Manju’s (Sumona) father.” While the episode with Akshay was shot recently (it will be aired after three weeks), the makers are in two minds over Sunil playing Gutthi permanently!
