Gutthi / Sunil Grover

This post is for the character in the show 'Comedy Nights with Kapil' and that character is Gutthi.
I feel what the channel claims is correct, that Gutthi belongs to 'Colors channel'. Actors may come and go but the characters remain the Copyright of the respective channels.
We have seen that happening across numerous TV serials. One of the most famous one being 'Balika Vadhu' who was replaced. The character remained but the actor changed.
Similar is the case with Gutthi. But let us now forget about Gutthi and see Sunil Grover as an actor. I would say that Sunil Grover is terrific as an actor. We have seen time and again in the Kapil show where he would portray numerous characters.
Mainly he used to portray old man characters and he was excellent. Now such an excellent actor being typecast as just Gutthi would be unfair.
We are used to seeing Sunil Grover in numerous roles.
Actually we can see a change in Kapil show after he began on the new set which was rebuilt after a mysterious fire destroyed the old one.
The first change was that, 'the naukar' was changed. Personally I felt that the earlier naukar, Naseem Vicky was too good.
Next change was that Kapil 'reduced the comedy act' which he used to do at the beginning of the show along with Sunil Grover and others and now more time was being spent with the celebrity guest. That I feel is unwarranted. Kapil no doubt can do comedy on his own and along with his team it is even better. Celebrity I feel is like the Cream and cherry on top of the cake. The cake is good. Cream makes it better and then with the cherry on top, it is complete. But the main thing is the cake. And that is the 'hardcore comedy' which Kapil  and his team does.
Third I found that Sunil Grover got a 'permanent job' as Gutthi (along with another actor as Palak). As I said earlier, Sunil Grover is a versatile actor and can portray numerous roles. Gutthi is just one of the character he played. And as we have seen even earlier before the fire accident, Gutthi mainly entered when there was the celebrity guest around. At the beginning of the show when there was no celebrity, Kapil and team carried on with their act without Gutthi. Thus Sunil Grover was 'made to lose a chuck' of what he was acting on the show. That was wrong I think and probably that is the reason Sunil Grover felt 'constricted' and left the show.

Watched one more movie yesterday and that is "Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya'. The new movie starring Girish and Shruti Hassan and directed by Prabhudheva. I liked the movie. It is worth watching once at least.
