Raj Shamani's conversation with Vijay Mallya on his podcast covered the businessman's life, Kingfisher's rise and fall, and controversy surrounding his departure from India. On Kapil Sharma's Netflix show, Raj revealed how he landed the interview, accomplishing what top agencies couldn't. He shared the story of bumping into Mallya in London and securing the four-hour conversation.
The interview, which lasted four hours, covered various topics, including Kingfisher Airlines' downfall, loan defaults and Mallya's thoughts on returning to India. During the conversation, Mallya expressed willingness to return to India if assured a fair trial. Mallya also clarified that he wasn't trying to flee the country when he left India in 2016 but didn't return due to valid reasons, denying allegations of being a thief.
Following the viral success of his podcast with Vijay Mallya, who hadn't spoken to the media in a while, Raj revealed in a promo for The Great Indian Kapil Show that the episode was filmed in London. This interview, where Raj discussed everything from his life to Kingfisher, the controversy around leaving the country, and more, created a buzz.
In the promo, Kapil says, “Raj, you managed to interview a personality whom even the top agencies of our country couldn’t approach. How did you approach him?” Raj replies, “I was out for a walk in London. I happened to spot him, so I approached him. I asked him, sir do you know who I am? He said, no. I asked, do you know what a podcast is? He said, no.”
In the upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, airing on Netflix at 8 PM on Saturday, Raj Shamani will elaborate on his interview with Vijay Mallya. The episode, filmed in London, will also feature podcasters Saurabh Dwivedi, Kamiya Jani, and Samdish Bhatia, who will share insights from their notable interviews, including one with a CM.
