"Charlie Chaplin is still undoubtedly the greatest entertainer of all times. Till today, I have his photograph in my wallet. I personally believe in his saying, ‘Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot'," Akshay said while shooting for the first episode of the show.
Besides Akshay, the show will also feature Mallika Dua, Zakir Khan and Hussain Dalal as mentors.
"The Great Indian Laughter Challenge" will soon be aired on Star Plus.
