Why Kapil Sharma was the chosen one for Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon

Filmmakers Abbas-Mustan has revealed that Kapil Sharma was the only actor they considered for 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon.'Despite the movie being the 34 year-old comedian's Bollywood debut, directors and brothers, Abbas and Mustan, have admitted that Kapil was their only choice when it came to casting for their upcoming romantic comedy.Abbas-Mustan said: "No other actor except Kapil came to our mind for the script of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. We never take a script forward till we get the correct actor for it. And we have seen the popularity and know that only Kapil can justify the film's character." Kapil, who hosts 'Comedy Nights with Kapil', was a perfect choice for the directing duo, as they have confessed that they didn't want their film to star an established actor who was already well-known in the industry.The brothers said: "We didn't want to go with any big actor or any newcomer. Moreover, everyone wanted to see Kapil in movies."It seems the duo made the right choice in Kapil, who has impressed them during the shooting of the film, particularly when he finished a scene that should have taken all-night to shoot in an hour and a half.Abbas said: "Kapil did the five page dialogue in one shot. He asked for one more take but we were confident and didn’t go for the second take. It was very well performed by Kapil and we were fully satisfied."'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon', which also stars Simran Kaur Mundi, Manjari Phadnis, Sai Lokur and Elli Avram, is expected to release on 25 September.
