Ranveer Singh demanded fat cheque to host ‘Comedy Nights’?

Recently, a number of actors were seen stepping into the shoes of Kapil Sharma to host ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’ when he was bedridden. However, in a turn for the books, the show’s team were looking for a host for one episode in which Sharma himself would be promoting his debut film ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’. They apparently thought Ranveer Singh was the perfect choice but this didn’t work out.

“Kapil’s team narrowed down on Ranveer, who has been on CNWK on more than one occasion. And the two have had a blast. One had seen a genuine bond between the two when Ranveer appeared on the show for Gunday, Dil Dhadakne Do and other films,” said a source to TOI.

Singh’s spokesperson said when asked whether the actor had asked for a big fee, “He was asked whether he would host an episode for Kapil. They also checked what he usually charges for such things. However, he had to decline the offer because Bajirao Mastani��has a deadline and it would be impossible to get Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s permission at this stage.”
