Over the weekend, Sunil Grover replied to a fan's tweet and wrote, "Many people have asked me about Kapil Sharma's new show but I haven't received any call. I haven't changed my phone number also. I was waiting for their call but now I have signed a new show."

Explaining the reason for posting the tweet, Sunil Grover told TOI, "I was tired of the fan's continuous questions about whether I was going to be a part of Kapil's upcoming show, so I decided to answer it. But I had no intentions to fight with Kapil or say any nasty things about him. I remained silent even after the fight that took place last year. I never said anything. I was under pressure since few days as my fans kept on asking me if I am doing the show and I just reacted."
Later, Sunil Grover posted this.

The Kapil Sharma-Sunil Grover fight dates back to last year. Kapil Sharma was accused of allegedly assaulting Sunil Grover while flying to India from Melbourne. After the fight, Sunil Grover quit the show. Due to falling TRPs, The Kapil Sharma Show went off air. Kapil Sharma's health was affected due to his excessive alcohol consumption and he was reportedly admitted in a rehabilitation centre.
"We both are mature people and have even met after the incident last year. There are many things that happened between the two of us since then, and I don't think I should talk about it. I don't want to do mudslinging. I worked with him on two great shows though it was for a temporary period. I will be always thankful," Sunil Grover told TOI.
Kapil Sharma's new show Family Time With Kapil is expected to go on air soon.
