The portal further reports that comedian Gaurav Dubey, too, will be a part of this show, but not as a contestant. "Yes, I will be performing gags and seen in different avatars on the show. You might see me enter the scene just when a contestant is about to perform a task. I will trouble them and joke with them. I am sure it will be a lot of fun. I have already written a few gags and designed some characters for the show. Creative discussions are on and we will hopefully finalise everything soon. Those who liked me on ‘Khatra Khatra Khatra’, will enjoy my performance on ‘KKK’," he said.
