Vijay Mallya spoke at length about the Kingfisher Airlines crisis and more on Raj Shamani's podcast.

Raj’s podcast with Vijay went viral when it dropped, given that the businessman had not spoken to the media in a long time. In a promo for the upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, Raj revealed that the episode was shot in London.

In the promo, Kapil says, “Raj, you managed to interview a personality whom even the top agencies of our country couldn’t approach. How did you approach him?” Raj replies, “I was out for a walk in London. I happened to spot him, so I approached him. I asked him, sir do you know who I am? He said, no. I asked, do you know what a podcast is? He said, no.”

The Great Indian Kapil Show is a comedy talk show hosted by Kapil Sharma, with Archana Puran Singh, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, and Rajiv Thakur also featuring in it. It is identical to his TV shows, The Kapil Sharma Show and Comedy Nights with Kapil. Season 3 of the show kicked off with Salman Khan as the guest in late June. The cast of Metro In Dino and Son of Sardaar 2, Indian cricketers and more have been guests in the last few episodes.
