Will he or won't he? This Friday, we will know...

Comedy is a serious business; it requires tremendous acting chops to perfect a comic scene without falling flat on the face. While our top stars, be it Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, have proved themselves adept in handling comedy, there are other heroes whose proficiency lies in only in making you smile. And these actors is getting a new, and far more dangerous rival this Friday! Also Read - Did you know Rajkummar Rao and other popular Bollywood actors got REJECTED in reality show auditions?

And that rival is Kapil Sharma! Kapil Sharma is the very popular host of Comedy Nights With Kapil, the show on which every star in Bollywood love to spend more than a few minutes with (ask Shah Rukh Khan!). The former stand-up comedian, known for his dry wit and punchy comebacks, will now be making his debut with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, a comedy on infidelity by the master of thriller, Abbas - Mustan. Though the trailers have been so-s0, Kapil is in his elements, playing to his strengths with his comic timing. And we are sure be the best thing about the film, even if the rest of the same would be unwatchable!

So whether KKPK works or not, we will have to wait till this weekend to find out the answer. But one thing we are sure, Kapil Sharma is definitely going to give tough competition to these actors, who are masters in the art of making you smile!

Riteish Deshmukh

Notable comic roles: Housefull series, Kya Kool Hai Hum and its sequel, Dhamaal series, Masti and its sequel.

Riteish started off with a generic love story, Tujhe Meri Kasam (where he co-starred with his future wife Genelia D'Souza). However, it was his second movie, the adult comedy Masti, that made him a popular name. Following that, he proved his comic flair was not a flash in the pan with more such roles in Kya Kool Hai Hum, Housefull, Dhamaal etc. many of which were made into successful franchises. Though Riteish did digress into other genres, most successful being his psychopathic role in Ek Villain, people still love and remember him for his comic roles.

Just FYI, Riteish will also be seen in the upcoming YRF comedy Bank Chor, a role that was supposed to launch Kapil Sharma!

Arshad Warsi

Notable comic roles: Munnabhai series, Sunday, Golmaal series, Dhamaal series.

Arshad Warsi is another actor, like Riteish, who didn't start off in a comedy film. His first film was a slice of life drama with Chandrachur Singh, Tere Mere Sapne. The film was an average grosser, but he was finding it difficult to sustain in Bollywood with a slate of flop films. Just when people were about to forget that he ever existed, he made a marvelous comeback playing the loveable sidekick, Circuit, to Munna Bhai. From there on, he focused more on comedy with Hulchul, Golmaal series. Though the actor often complains that he wants to do more than comedy, except for Ishqiya and its sequel (which had shades of dark humour), none of the other films worked.

Tusshar Kapoor

Notable comic roles: Kya Kool Hai Hum and its sequel, Golmaal series, Dhol.

Tusshar Kapoor had a dream start when he debuted with Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, with the gorgeous Kareena Kapoor (now Khan). The movie was a hit, but his career as a hero failed to take new heights after that. But with Kya Kool Hai Hum, he found his comic ability and his Golmaal he found a role that will make generations remember him for his mute Lucky character!

Shreyas Talpade

Notable comic roles: Golmaal Returns and Golmaal 3, Housefull 2

Shreyas Talpade is a fantastic actor, whom our audiences, have unfortunately relegated to comic sidekick roles. He has impressed us in Iqbal, Dor, but we made him a sidekick to Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, Akshay Kumar in Housefull 2 and Joker, Ajay Devgn in Golmaal Returns and Golmaal 3. Now the actor is focusing more on his Marathi roots, and giving us some impressive productions in Sanai Choughade and Poshter Boyz.

Vir Das

Notable comic roles: Delhi Belly, Go Goa Gone, Shaadi Ke Side Effects

Like Kapil Sharma, even Vir Das is a stand up comedian who made a not-so-eventful transition to acting. Though he has done some leading roles in movies like Mumbai Salsa, Sooper Se Ooper etc., it's his comic roles in Delhi Belly and Go Goa Gone that made people notice his quirky comic ability.

Govinda

Notable comic roles: Just so many David Dhawan films!

Okay, I am not going to describe Govinda's comic ability to you, the man is just too brilliant in that department. What I am going to speak is how Kapil Sharma is stepping right into Govinda's pet territory! His comic style is similar to that of Govinda, and even his role in Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon is kinda similar to what Govinda did in Saajan Chale Sasural and Sandwich!
