Sunil told the media in jest that back then, streaming platforms were making in-roads in the country so he and Kapil thought about what they could do to give the television content an edge or better to hop on the OTT bandwagon. He joked: "Us time pe Netflix India mein naya naya aaya tha toh humko laga ki television ki audience ko baandh ke rakhne ke liye kuch karna padega (Netflix had just entered in India back then. So, Kapil and I thought that we gotta do something to hold our television audience".
"That's how we came up with that idea of a fight as a publicity stunt," Sunil said, unable to contain his laughter at the invented story. The Great Indian Kapil Show will premiere on Netflix on March 30.
