KKN Gurugram Desk | The king of Indian comedy, Kapil Sharma, is back with a brand-new season of his much-loved show — The Great Indian Kapil Show. Streaming exclusively on Netflix, the show’s latest season kicks off on June 21, 2025, and it promises to open with a bang. The first guest? None other than Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan.

Adding to the excitement, the episode will mark a never-seen-before act performed by Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek, where they hilariously mimic Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan — right in front of Salman himself. The promo video of the episode has already gone viral, sparking major anticipation, laughter, and speculation online.

Salman Khan to Appear in The Great Indian Kapil Show Season Premiere

Netflix has officially announced the premiere of the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, confirming that Salman Khan will be the opening guest. In the show’s teaser video released by the makers, Salman is seen sharing laughs with the entire cast, especially reacting to his lookalike and Sunil-Krushna’s Bollywood roast segment.

This episode holds special significance, as it will be the first time Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek will enact the iconic SRK-Salman act in Salman’s direct presence, adding a thrilling layer of unpredictability and potential drama to the segment.

Sunil Grover and Krushna’s Shahrukh-Salman Act: A Risky but Hilarious Move?

Both Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek are known for their bold and unapologetic parodies of Bollywood celebrities. But mimicking Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in front of Salman himself? That’s next-level daring. According to fans who have seen the promo:

“Sunil and Krushna are doing the unthinkable — recreating the SRK-Salman dynamic in front of Bhaijaan himself. The audience can’t wait to see his reaction!”

This comedic skit could either become an iconic moment in Indian comedy, or it could test Salman’s well-known temper, depending on how far the jokes go. However, given Salman’s recent light-hearted public appearances, most fans believe he’s likely to take it sportingly.

Netizens React to the Viral Promo Video

The promo clip featuring Salman Khan interacting with his doppelgänger and laughing at himself has triggered a flood of reactions on social media.

Some of the most viral user comments include:

• “Salman roasting himself? That’s the kind of humor we love!”

• “Salman’s reaction to his own lookalike was priceless!”

• “Haven’t seen Salman laugh this much in years!”

• “This is going to be the most entertaining episode in the history of Kapil’s show.”

The clip also features a scene where Salman, seeing his lookalike, humorously says:

“Sikandar se koi farak to nahi pada na, sir?”
(A cheeky nod to his own film Sikandar, which failed at the box office.)

Salman Khan Trolls Himself Over Sikandar’s Box Office Failure

In a rare move, Salman Khan makes fun of his own film Sikandar, which underperformed at the box office. This self-deprecating humor has earned him even more respect from his fan base, as it showcases his ability to take criticism in stride.

One fan commented:

“No one trolls Salman Khan better than Salman Khan himself.”

This moment alone has sparked excitement and memes, further increasing the buzz around the show’s comeback.

Will Salman Be Offended by the Parody?

Some fans are wondering whether Salman might get upset over the Sunil-Krushna parody, especially as it might include references to controversies or comparisons with Shah Rukh Khan. However, others believe that Salman’s evolved public image — more jovial and open to humor — suggests that he will enjoy the segment.

One viral fan theory stated:

“Sunil Grover is an AI now. No way this is real — the confidence to do that skit in front of Salman is unmatched!”

Others joked:

“Sunil better run after the act. Salman might chase him with Dabangg-level energy!”

Expectations from The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix

The upcoming season of The Great Indian Kapil Show is being touted as bigger, better, and bolder, thanks to the creative freedom offered by the OTT format. The platform shift from television to Netflix has allowed:

• Longer episodes without censor cuts

• Higher production value

• Top-tier guests like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and now Salman Khan

• Creative liberty in scripting jokes and segments

Fans are already urging the makers to release two episodes per week, saying one isn’t enough.

Can the Show Live Up to the Hype?

While fan excitement is at an all-time high, some viewers are cautiously optimistic. With so much buzz around the Salman-Shah Rukh parody, the stakes are higher than ever.

“This episode better deliver. With all this promotion, it’s got to be legendary,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).

If the Salman Khan episode strikes the right balance of comedy and charm, it could set the tone for the entire season — potentially reviving Kapil Sharma’s dominance in Indian comedy on a global platform.

The return of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, with Salman Khan leading the premiere episode, is a power-packed start for the season. The bold move to parody two of Bollywood’s biggest icons in front of one of them makes it one of the most anticipated comedy episodes of 2025.

Will Sunil Grover’s impersonation win laughs or raise eyebrows? Will Salman’s legendary calm prevail, or will we see sparks fly? One thing is certain — audiences are in for an unforgettable comedic experience.

Tune in on June 21, 2025, only on Netflix, to catch the action.
