Raj Shamani on bagging Vijay Mallya's interview
Raj's podcast with Vijay went viral when it dropped, given that the businessman had not spoken to the media in a long time. In a promo for the upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, Raj revealed that the episode was shot in London.
In the promo, Kapil says, 'Raj, you managed to interview a personality whom even the top agencies of our country couldn't approach. How did you approach him?' Raj replies, 'I was out for a walk in London. I happened to spot him, so I approached him. I asked him, sir do you know who I am? He said, no. I asked, do you know what a podcast is? He said, no.'
While the promo doesn't reveal more, Raj is expected to discuss it in detail with Kapil in the next episode. The episode, which will stream on Netflix at 8 PM on Saturday, will feature podcasters Saurabh Dwivedi, Raj Shamani, Kamiya Jani, and Samdish Bhatia as guests. The other podcasters also discuss some of their famous interviews, including one with a CM.
