It turned into an unforgettable event the moment the veteran actor stepped onto the stage. The venue erupted with roaring applause as a visibly emotional Zakir rushed to welcome the actor with a warm hug.

As Johnny Lever walked onto the stage, Zakir rushed to embrace the veteran actor, and the warmth between them was palpable. The spontaneous interaction between the two comedians became an instant highlight.

Zakir Khan’s Papa Yaar tour, which began in July 2025, has grown into one of the biggest live comedy circuits India has seen so far. Spanning over 60 cities and more than 50 shows across the country, the tour has set a new standard for large-scale stand-up performances. Backed by TribeVibe Entertainment, it is being widely regarded as a turning point for how comedy tours are produced and experienced in India.

The tour didn’t stay limited to India either. Zakir also took Papa Yaar to international and stadium-sized venues, including a landmark performance at Madison Square Garden in New York and a show at IG Stadium in Delhi, marking a significant step for Indian stand-up on global stages.

Johnny Lever is currently gearing up for the release of the big ensemble comedy film Welcome to the Jungle.
