Kapil Sharma said he is looking forward to his first-ever association with Netflix.

Popular comic and TV show host Kapil Sharma is heading to Netflix for his digital debut. Though it is unclear whether the project is a comedy special, series or film, it will premiere on the streamer in 2021 across 190 countries.

Kapil Sharma said he is looking forward to his first-ever association with Netflix. '2020 has been a bumpy ride for everyone around the world and my motive is to make people forget their worries and welcome this new year with love, laughter and positivity,' the 39-year-old actor said in a statement. 'I always wanted to be on Netflix but I didn't have their number,' he quipped. Sharma said the project is close to his heart, adding 'I cannot wait to share more details with my fans soon.'

A video announcement was released by Netflix India in which Kapil is introducing himself and trying hard to pronounce 'auspicious'. He then talks about being a part of the streaming platform based in India, thus making Hindi as his primary language.
