"Kapil Sharma and Raju Srivastav, they are amazing actors. I am a huge fan of them and not a competitor," Deven told reporters here on Thursday at the launch of his show.
Kapil came into the limelight after winning the third season of "The Great Indian Laughter Challenge" and since then there has been no looking back for him.
His debut comedy show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil', which went on-air in June this year, has not only been appreciated by the audience, but is a hit among celebrities too. Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar came twice on his show and it has become the highest rated show in the non-fiction category after 'Bigg Boss' and 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.
"I laugh whole-heartedly whenever I see him (Kapil) doing comedy. I enjoy watching him," Deven added.
Deven, who has shown his comic skills in the comedy shows like 'Office-Office' and 'Dekh Bhai Dekh', said: "We all are artists and only know to appreciate each other."
'Bh se Bhadey!' will go on air from October 26 on Zee TV. In the show, Deven will be seen as the protagonist, who has supernatural powers.
Talking about the show, he said it will appeal to all age groups.
"Today, there are very few comedy shows that we can watch sitting along with our families, but as far as our show is concerned, it will appeal to everyone right from the kids to the youngsters, middle-aged and even old aged - all age groups," Deven said.
"We will wind up the show's each episode with a light message. It won't be preachy... the audience will love it," he added.

Deven is in a different league altogether...he is a very fine actor with a very strong and entertaining body of work. While Kapil is good, but he's a bit repetitive and his show is primarily centered around celebrities and OTT characters. It would be a treat to watch this new show from this superb production house.

@dreamyharika # Only a immature, egoistic, spoilt brat like dreamyharika can make a comment like the one she has made about Deven! # Perhaps it is dreamyharika who should look at her inner self... # Both Deven and Kapil are good entertainers!

Deven Bhojwani is of a different league .. he never used cheap jokes or never needed celebrities to create comedy ... his work is original and he is a great actor.. he can make you smile and make you cry (this is does not mean Kapil is not good) but Deven is Deven so no competition here

Deven you are awesome actor in comedy in your our way and style. No need to compare yourself with others. We know you are best. @dreamyharika please first correct your language for comment and if you don't know the actor then you should not comment on him like this.
