Sunil Grover has done it again. The comedian and actor transformed into Ajay Devgn for a Netflix India promotional video, and the resemblance left fans stunned. Dressed like the Bollywood star and speaking in an almost identical voice, Grover even recreated the famous Singham pose while talking about the upcoming season of The Great Indian Kapil Show. The clip arrived just days before Drishyam 3 hits theatres on October 2, 2026, and the timing could not have been better.
What Happened in the Promo
Netflix India shared a promo featuring Sunil Grover in full Ajay Devgn mode. He wore clothes matching Devgn’s style and copied his deep voice, walk, and mannerisms. The highlight came when he struck the Singham pose, a move tied to Devgn’s famous cop character from the Singham films.
The video was meant to promote The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5, which premiered on Netflix on September 26, 2026. The Drishyam 3 cast appeared on the premiere episode as guests. Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, Jaideep Ahlawat, and director Abhishek Pathak joined Kapil Sharma and his team for the opening episode.
Grover’s impression became the most talked-about moment from the promo. Fans filled the comments section with funny reactions. One user wrote, “Sunil is looking more Ajay than Ajay himself.” Another asked, “Is Sunil Grover a shapeshifter?” A third comment read, “Mimicry sounds more original than original himself.” One fan joked in Hindi, “Ye pehla comedian hoga jiske saamne real wala actor uncomfortable feel karta hoga,” which means he must be the first comedian in whose presence a real actor feels uncomfortable.
Why Grover’s Impression Works
Sunil Grover has been doing impressions for years. His Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Gulzar acts have all found success on social media. What makes his work stand out is the attention to small details. He does not just copy the voice. He studies how the person walks, sits, reacts, and carries themselves.
The Ajay Devgn impression works because Devgn has a very specific screen presence. His voice is deep and steady. His expressions are controlled. His body language is calm but strong. Grover captured all of these elements in the promo. He even brought in the Singham pose, which is one of the most recognized moments from Devgn’s career.
Fans have called Grover’s transformations “chameleon-like.” Some have referred to him as “real AI” because of how closely he can copy someone. This is not the first time his Ajay Devgn act has drawn attention. In 2020, Grover shared a video where he imitated Devgn talking about network issues during the lockdown. He has also played a character called Majey Devgn on The Great Indian Kapil Show, posing as the regional manager of the “Ajay Devgn Duplicate Association.”
Grover’s History with Ajay Devgn
The connection between Sunil Grover and Ajay Devgn goes back many years. Grover once revealed that he used to mimic Devgn on the sets of The Legend of Bhagat Singh. He was desperate to get noticed at the time and used impressions as a way to stand out. That film featured Ajay Devgn in the lead role.
Grover also appeared in Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha (1998), which starred Ajay Devgn and Kajol. A fan on social media shared a photo of a young Sunil Grover from that film with Devgn, pointing out how far he has come since then.
Over the years, Grover has built a reputation as one of India’s most skilled mimicry artists. He has imitated Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Kapil Dev, and many others. Aamir Khan once praised Grover’s impersonation of him as “fantastic.” For Grover, that compliment meant a lot because he values artistic skill over fame.
The Kapil Show Season 5 Premiere
The Great Indian Kapil Show returned after a six-month break. Season 5 premiered on Netflix on September 26, 2026, with new episodes every Saturday at 8 PM. The Drishyam 3 team opened the season, and the episode leaned into festive themes.
The premiere episode featured Jaideep Ahlawat joining Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda for a dance performance. Ahlawat, known for intense roles in Paatal Lok and the Drishyam franchise, showed a different side in the comedy segment. Ajay Devgn also delivered some dry one-liners throughout the episode.
Reviews of the premiere were mixed. Some critics felt the episode did not deliver the laughs expected from a season opener. A review on Koimoi noted that Sunil Grover’s Ajay Devgn impression “remains an impression rather than being funny.” The review added that the Sona-Mona dance segment was the only part that got real laughs. Despite the mixed reviews, the promo clip with Grover’s Devgn act continued to draw attention online.
Drishyam 3 Release Details
Drishyam 3, officially titled Drishyam: The Conclusion, releases in theatres on October 2, 2026. The film is directed by Abhishek Pathak.
