When Sunil Grover aka 'Gutthi' decided to quit 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' due to monetary reasons, there was a huge hue and cry as it is one of the most beloved characters of the show.
Fans across the country have demanded the production house to get back the character they adore so much. As a result the producers have decided to have copyright on the character 'Gutthi' before any rival channel or production house copies it.

An Indian Express report says that while producer Viacom 18 have started looking for Sunil's replacement, they have also published a notice in national dailies on November 20 that warns whosoever attempts to copy or be associated with the character 'Gutthi, legal action will be initiated against that entity.
The notice reads "A certain artist and a stand-up comedian associated with the programme Comedy Nights With Kapil aired on Colors television channels is planning to launch or be associated with other shows.... Take notice that Viacom18 has sole, exclusive, absolute and unlimited ownership rights of all the intellectual Property rights of the Artist associated with the programme including the rights in the format of the programme."
We certainly hope that our beloved Gutthi returns to the show.
