If rumours are anything to go by, then Kapil Sharma’s teammates Sunil Grover, Ali Asgar and Chandan Prabhakar have boycotted The Kapil Sharma Show.
It seems Kapil shot for an upcoming episode without the other three comedians. Kiku Sharda, though, has continued to stay on.
This is the latest after news surfaced of Kapil allegedly assaulting Sunil on a flight.
A source from the team told DNA,
Sunil has decided not to return to the show. He is contractually bound with the Channel (Sony Entertainment) and not with Kapil Sharma’s production house. Sunil has already made it clear to Sony that he cannot return to the show after Kapil’s unruly conduct.
According to the report, Kapil boasted about making the show work all by himself so Sunil, Ali Asgar and Chandan decided challenge him and quit the show.
A source close to the developments told DNA,
Clearly there are major upheavals happening on The Kapil Sharma Show. Sunil won’t return. Ali and Chandan too, boycotted the show. That leaves only Kiku sharing the platform with Kapil. Of course, Navjot Singh Sidhu who is very close to Kapil, also remains. But for how long?
Meanwhile, the channel continues to deny reports of a fallout and is attempting to clean up the mess.
Kapil, on the other hand, is bringing in fresh talent on the show. He introduced them in the recent episode where Vidya Balan was also present.
Says a member of the comic team, “Kapil can now introduce a new line-up of comedians on the show and abuse them out of the show.”
