  "account": "The Great Indian Kapil Show 5 is scheduled to return on Netflix, slated to coincide with the festive season. The premiere episode is set for September 26, featuring a star-studded lineup from Bollywood, OTT, and cricket. Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Esha Dutta, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Mrunal Jadhav join Kapil Sharma for a segment where they engage in the show's signature humor and banter. During the conversation, Ajay Devgn jokingly posits that if Kajol had been cast in Drishyam, the film series would never have been made. The trailer also features Kiku Sharda making light of Mrunal Jadhav's character being raised by the Drishyam franchise. Kapil discusses a humorous anecdote about Ajay Devgn, noting they have only exchanged pleasantries in 15 years, mirroring the film's dialogue. The new season will also feature cricket legends Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar, interacting with former Kapil Sharma Show judge Navjot Singh Sidhu, who returns to the cast. The episode promises a mix of comedy and celebrity interactions, streaming every Saturday at 8 pm on Netflix.",
