Further replying to another user, he revealed that the makers of The Kapil Sharma Show for not inviting the actor to promote the film as ‘there’s no big star.’ He wrote in his next Tweet, “Even I am a fan. But it’s a fact that they refused to call us on their show because there is no big star. In Bollywood non-starter Directors, writers and Good actors are considered as NOBODIES.”
