decades later Kapil is all set to do act in television soap. He will be playing
a special cameo for in Star Plus’s upcoming show Sumit Sambhal Lega.
Sumit Sambhal Lega is
an adaptation of popular sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. It revolves around the
life of sports journalist Sumit essayed by actor Namit Das. Popular cricket commentators Harsha Bhogle and
Jatin Sapru will also be featured in the show.
Kapil Dev who was a captain of Indian Cricket team will be doing a special cameo as himself for one
episode in the show.While talking about his decision of acting in this
particular show, Kapil Dev said, “I chose to take up Sumit Sambhal Lega because
I was simply asked to appear as myself in the show. It did not require any
complicated acting and I believed I could pull it off, which is why I took it
up. My experience with the camera is extremely different and to be honest I am
not an actor. Since the show is somewhere also based on Sports, it made sense
to me. Moreover, the original series is quite well-known and since my personal favourite
genre on TV is light-hearted comedy, Sumit Sambhal Lega seemed like the right
choice.”
