Says Kapil, “While making Welcome in 2007, Anees Bazmee had seen me in one of the acts of the Laughter Challenge Grand Finale. He liked my performance and approached me to work with him at that time. Unfortunately, I was in the US then. He was relentless and a few years later approached me again when he was casting for It’s My Life. I feel honoured to be working in such a big production.”

In the past, Kapil has also won the third season of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. He is known for his spoof-characters like Lala Roshan Lal and Shamsher Singh, an officer in the Punjab Police force. Later he also won Comedy Circus Ke Super Stars, Comedy Circus Ka Jadoo and Jubilee Comedy Circus along with Krushna Abhishek and Rajiv Nigam. “If my role in It’s My Life is appreciated, there would be no looking back. I am spontaneous by nature, so I go with the situation at a given point of time,” says Kapil, on making Bollywood his next career option.
