Sunil Grover lands into legal trouble

Comedian and actor Sunil Grover, known for his character Dr Mashoor Gulati, has had quiet an eventful year.

Sunil was in news for his feud with another comedian and talk-show host Kapil Sharma. As a result of the fight, Sunil walked out of The Kapil Sharma Show.

Ever since, Sunil has done many live shows and was expected to perform in India’s city Ahmedabad on May 27.

However, another show organiser filed a complaint of cheating and criminal conspiracy against the comedian, according to Indian media.

According to the event organiser, Rajpal Shah, comedian’s manager had promised him that Sunil will perform at Shah’s event. However, the contract was breached and now Sunil is holding a similar show in Ahmedabad, Shah had claimed. Rajpal filed a complaint under section 417 and 120 (B) of Indian Penal Code.

Upon this Sunil’s manager had said that they keep getting enquiries for a specific date in India and abroad. However, the comedian could not perform at Shah’s event due to another event, scheduled on the same date. “I returned him the advance amount of `10 lakh’ [INR 1million]. So there's no case of cheating and I have all the bank statements which I can present for the same," he added.
