The cast of director Deepak Kumar Mishra's action adventure fantasy film The One: Force of the Forest made a special guest appearance on Saturday's episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix India. Lead actors Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia engaged in candid conversations covering their recent release, their fellow cast members, and the prevailing trends shaping modern comedy. Both performers offered generous praise for host Kapil Sharma, his creative troupe, and their co-star Maniesh Paul, highlighting their rare knack for delivering sharp roasts without leaving anyone feeling offended.
Why Kapil Sharma keeps an eye on emerging comics
Reflecting on the unique dynamic between Kapil Sharma and Maniesh Paul, Tamannaah Bhatia noted that while hosting remains central to their duties, the two are genuine masters of the roasting craft. She observed that although roasting has become widespread across entertainment platforms, their particular style stands out because it remains strictly family-friendly. When Tamannaah asked whether the newer wave of stand-up comedians had picked up the art of roasting from him, Sharma offered a characteristically quick-witted explanation. He remarked humorously that he watches these younger performers precisely to figure out what not to say on stage, ensuring he stays out of prison.
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia celebrate clean humor
Sidharth Malhotra joined Tamannaah in applauding the production team for maintaining decent and family-oriented humor. Malhotra extended his respect to Sharma, the writing crew, and Maniesh Paul for practicing humor that uses thoughtful language rather than cheap shots. He pointed out that when humor is handled with respect, the subject of the joke ends up laughing along rather than taking offense. According to Malhotra, the true strength of the show's writing lies in its refusal to rely on abusive language or vulgarity, an observation that visibly pleased the host.
Box office earnings of The One across ten days
The featured feature film, The One: Force of the Forest, is a joint production venture between Ektaa Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures and Arunabh Kumar's The Viral Fever. Alongside the leading duo, the cinematic cast includes prominent performers such as Sunil Grover, Annup Sonii, and Shweta Tiwari. Over its initial 10-day run in domestic theaters, the title accumulated a box office collection of 58.85 crore rupees. This commercial performance establishes the fantasy adventure as the fifth highest-grossing film in Sidharth Malhotra's career so far.
