Navin Prabhakar as Gutthi on Comedy Nights..?

The fall-out between the makers of 'Comedy Nights with Kapil' and Sunil Grover aka Gutthi is all over the media these days.

And with Sunil Grover's decision of not returning to the show, things seem to have become worse for the show. Sunil Grover's exit has also made a way for a new actor to play the character of Gutthi.

Several names including Raju Shrivastav being approached to do the role is doing the rounds and the latest we hear is that Pehchaan Kaun fame Navin Prabhakar is also in talks with the makers to play the role of Gutthi.

Sources inform that the production house and the channel have been auditioning many comic actors to play the funny Gutthi. They have now approached comic actor Navin Prabhakar who was last seen in Bollywood film Phata Poster Nikla Hero.

When contacted, Navin Prabhakar said, "Yes, it's true I have been approached to play Gutthi. But I am not sure if I will be able to take the offer as I have many live shows and couple of movies lined up".

When asked, if he would like to play the role, Navin said, "Why not, I would love to play the role but I feel 'Gutthi' has become an iconic character and it will be difficult to recreate the same magic. Just like nobody can recreate 'Gabbar' from Sholay or 'Shaakaal' from Shaan. If I will do it, I will bring my own comic elements to the character and do it in my own style rather than simply copying it."
