The actor talks about hosting Entertainment Ke Liye kuch Bhi Karega, his Bollywood projects and more
Krushna Abhishek is all geared up for his stint as the host of the new season of Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega. In a chat with Deccan Chronicle, he talks about his equation with the show’s judges (Farah Khan and Anu Malik), his Bollywood projects and partner Kashmira Shah.
On Anu Malik and Farah
If Karan Johar was judging this show, then there’d be some distance between us. But not so with Anu Malik. Anu has seen me since the time I was a chid. I used to go to his house and play. We do share a good personal equation. As for Farah, I’ve known her from the time she used to come to my house to tie rakhi to my father. I used to visit her house and play there as well.
On the contestants
There’s going to be a lot of fresh talent for viewers to marvel at, but there is going to be plenty of weird stuff as well! We had one contestant who ate a mobile phone. I hope he gets some calls on it after it’s been in his tummy for a couple of years.
On not taking up Comedy Nights with Kapil
When I was approached by the producers of Comedy Circus Ke Ajoobe, I thought the show would end in a few months. But now it’s been six years and it’s still going strong. Kapil (Sharma) called me to be a part of his show, but I couldn’t take it up and I think he got a little angry with me.
On Bollywood projects
My upcoming film, It’s Entertainment, is for children. It stars Akshay Kumar, a dog — and me! We try to solve mysteries in this film. I think Akshay and I share good onscreen chemistry and the film will release in August… My first film offer (even before Bol Bachchan) was Hook Ya Crook. It’s a comedy that’s directed by David Dhawan and stars John Abraham, Genelia D’souza and me. The film’s shoot was nearly complete, except for the climax, but then the film got stalled and it has not been released yet.
On marriage and Kashmira
Kashmira and I have been together for the past six years, but we haven’t planned our wedding yet. If we do get married, we’d like to do so in Los Angeles. Or perhaps Kashmir. Maybe it is time we tied the knot.
