Will Apka Apna Zakir be a successor to Sony's?The Kapil Sharma Show?
People love Zakir Khan for his work, just as they love Kapil Sharma, but there is a section of Reddit users who recently shared scepticism about the upcoming SonyLIV show.
Zakir Khan's "Aapka Apna Zakir" is the successor to The Kapil Sharma Show on Sony. The first 2 episodes have Karan Johar, Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao as guests

As the platform is also the same for both shows, audiences doubt what the difference will be between Apka Apna Zakir and The Kapil Sharma Show. As per the promo shared by SonyLIV, the same format can be noticed in Zakir's show, just like Kapil's show, where celebrity guests were invited to promote their movies and character artists used to perform skits around them.
Here are some of the reactions by Reddit users:
One of the Reddit users wrote, "When I first saw this post I thought this would be more like Jeena isi ka naam hai type of thing which was hosted by the late Farooq Sheikh sahab but chalo to quote Robin "ye bhi theek hai"."
Another user said, "As much as I like Zakir... I am a bit sceptical... Kapil is more with the taste of Indian people... A bit more mainstream... I hope I am proven wrong but I feel Zakir is more of a storyteller than a pure madcap comedian... Kapil had a very solid cast for his show who carried the show for him so that's a factor tooo."
One even criticised the Kapil Sharma show and wrote, "Kapil taste in India people - have men dressing up as women and then degrade them , thirst jokes , stupid question from audience. I am sure this show will be the same."
A fan of Kapil Sharma said, "It¡¯s hard to replace Kapil¡¯s popularity, but I¡¯m glad the networks are trying. Kapil seems to have had a monopoly on this format, and I¡¯m waiting for a good alternative."
When and where to watch Apka Apna Zakir
To watch what Zakir is serving differently from Kapil Sharma, Apka Apna Zakir will premiere tomorrow on SonyLIV. The show will stream every Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 p.m. on Sony TV and OTT with fresh episodes.
