Sony Is Planning To Scrap The Kapil Sharma Show, Might Offer Sunil Grover His Own Show!

  • Sony Is Planning To Scrap The Kapil Sharma Show, Might Offer Sunil Grover His Own Show!
2017 is not Kapil Sharma's year and he too should make peace with this fact. His one mistake has taken a toll on his success and fame. If reports are to be believed, Sony TV is planning to cancel The Kapil Sharma show.
 
A DNA report claims that Sony had paid a whopping ₹107 crore to Kapil Sharma but because of the whole fiasco, the channel is going through a rough patch and facing monetary losses. 
 
According to DNA, a source from Sony TV said, “They are terribly disappointed with how much bad press the entire Kapil Sharma episode has brought to the channel and the show. The ratings have dipped way more than what they thought it would and they are mostly not signing Kapil anymore. In fact, they might pull plugs on The Kapil Sharma Show once and for all.”
 
The tables have turned and how. SONY might just offer Sunil Grover his very own show! Yep, you read that right. 
 
 
Reports indicate that Sunil Grover will be back to helm a completely new show, and this time, he’ll be getting some help from Preeti Simoes, Kapil Sharma’s rumoured ex-girlfriend. She was also previously the creative director of the show, but quit amidst the scandal erupting with Grover, with a new creative director now on board with Sharma’s show.
 
A source was quoted in the report saying,“Sony has rights to his characters – Rinku bhabhi and Dr. Mashur Gulati and also earn a chunk of money from his live shows where he performs in his avatars. And they are incredible characters in their own spaces already. So they might have a show with these characters.”
 
 
Meanwhile, Kapil’s show continues to go through its fair share of troubles. With him losing people on the show and his erratic behaviour polarising his fans, the ratings have started to decline. Also, the fact that celebrities like Armaan and Amaal Malik have walked out of his show have not helped make matters any better.
