Television's funnyman Kapil Sharma is all set for his big screen debut with
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. The movie chronicles the hits and misses of 'SRK'- together, Kapil's three onscreen names spell SRK (Shiv, Ram and Kishan). Kapil will be seen juggling between three wives onscreen but the actor joked, "I would never want to be in a position like that. In real life, I can hardly handle one wife." (Also Read:

Kapil will host a special screening of his film for the real SRK, actor Shah Rukh Khan, and Team
Dilwale in Hyderabad. "I respect Rohit (Shetty,
Dilwale director) and wanted them to see my film. Since they are in Hyderabad, I have decided to take the film to them," he said.
Talking about breaking a leg on the silver screen, Kapil said: "I don't regard myself as a hero. Heroes are those who work for the nation. I am an actor. I have no nervousness. It's too short a life to be stressing. If things don't work out I will just pack my bags and go to the Himalayas." (Also Read:

Of the guests on his TV show
Comedy Nights With Kapil, to which he owes his current popularity, Kapil said that it was veteran actress Rekha who was his most challenging guest, "She would veer the conversation, leaving me confused. With her shades and the light of the lamp on the sets, I for a moment felt I was with a Don." However, it was megastar Amitabh Bachchan who left him surprised, as he was game for anything on the sets.
The makers of
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, director duo Abbas-Mustan, said they had no idea about the Kannada film which slapped a legal notice on them saying they, the Kannada filmmakers, had registered the story in 2008. To this Kapil added, "Look at it this way: they will watch our film in the south too." (Also Read:
