Kapil Sharma show ratings hit all-time low, new season unlikely
March 31, 2017
Looks like comedian Kapil Sharma's infamous mid-air scuffle with Sunil
Grover has taken a toll on his show, 'The Kapil Sharma Show,' as it may
be heading towards a curtain call.
The show is reportedly
scheduled for a renewal for another season in April, which will
reportedly be a deal of Rs 106 crore, but according to a source, a fresh
season seems unlikely.
A report on India Today also says that the impressions of the show have witnessed a sharp fall (March 18-24), according to the latest data released by BARC India. The Kapil Sharma Show has recorded 5.3 million impressions, compared to last week's 6 million impressions.
The insider added that since the crew and
other celebrities are unwilling to turn up for the episodes, the
channel and the makers might have to take a tough decision of killing
the show.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Sunil Grover announced
an upcoming show, titled Dr Mashoor Gulati's Comedy Clinic, featuring
Kiku Sharda and other actors. The gig is scheduled to be held on April 1
in Delhi.
Meanwhile, rumour had it that comedian Raju Srivastava
was replacing Grover, who features as the characters Rinku Bhabhi and
Dr Mashoor Gulati on the show. Not just that, there are rumours that
Navjot Singh Sidhu might also have to quit the show due to his
government job as a minister.
Earlier, the 'Kis Kisko Pyaar
Karoon' star allegedly verbally abused and assaulted Sunil Grover with a
shoe while 'The Kapil Sharma Show' crew was flying out of Australia.
Later,
Kapil took to his Facebook page to share an apology to Grover, to which
the 'Gabbar is Back' star responded saying "Yes, you hurt me deeply.
