New Delhi: Comedian Kapil Sharma, who is making his film debut with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, says he is venturing into Bollywood with a comedy film because people 'love him for making them laugh.' (Also Read: Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon Team Defends Film Against Plagiarism Charge)

Kapil was in the capital on Tuesday for a promotional event for his film. When asked where comedy films stood in an era where real cinema was gaining ground, Kapil told news agency IANS, "If you talk about realistic films, there are many films with such concepts and there are many films that have been made with the concept of social issue. But, everyone wants to laugh in today's date."

"When you go for a comedy film, there is this guarantee that you will laugh. I think people always wait for comedy," he added.

The star comedian, who found fame with his TV show Comedy Nights With Kapil, says he has 'given his best' to his debut vehicle in Bollywood. "I think good comedy films are less now, and since it is my first film, I did not want to be a saint or behave like a politician. People love me for making them laugh so that is what I wanted to do and have done in the film," Kapil said.

In the Abbas-Mustan-directed film, Kapil romances as many as four actresses -- Elli Avram, Manjari Phadnis, Simran Kaur Mundi and Sai Lokurwords.

So, is he ready to get married in real life as well?

"I really do not know, ask me if I want to do other films, I can still answer that. But about marriage, only god will fix it, and can make it happen whenever he (god) wants," he said.
