Enough news has been trickling from the sets of The Kapil Sharma Show off late. Less for its TRPs and more for Bollywood biggies walking off the sets.
Two shoots this week
It has been a while since Kapil Sharma and his show has been in trouble. Indian TV's most loved comedian recent share with controveries and complaints of arriving late, has already affected his flagship comedy show on Sony TV The Kapil Sharma Show badly. This fate of this week's episode too is uncertain and the channel might have to do a repeat telecast of an old episode as a last resort.
"What Kapil probably is not realising is that he has been upsetting a lot of big names in Bollywood on his sets," said a source in light of what happened when he he kept the team of Baadshaho waiting and ultimately did not turn up for the shoot. The entire cast of the movie including Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi, Illeana Dcruz and Esha Gupta had no choice but to return back home.
As a result the next day, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol who were to promote their film Poster Boys on TKSS cancelled the shoot as they didn't want the similar treatment meted out to them as team Baadshaho.
Incidentally, this film is a Sony TV production and the matter has been escalated to the channel.
Sources point out that this is not the first time but the third time Kapil has done it. The other time, the Guest of London team had to cancell their shoot as Kapil Sharma did not arrive on the sets. As a result, the fresh episode of The Kapil Sharma Show's couldn't air the coming week.
Last week, his shoot with Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari and his team was cancelled because of the workers' strike and his team right now is worried as there are no fresh episodes in the bank for telecast.
As a producer and face of the show, the whole credibility of The Kapil Sharma Show depends on Kapil Sharma only. Sources added that his team, in the meanwhile, is trying its best to get actors for the shoot so that this week's episode can be aired.
