It's mostly the end of road for The Kapil Sharma Show. And only a miracle can save the show from sinking any further. Kapil has tried everything but to no good results.
Says a source from the team, "The makers are definitely not ready to pay Rs 107 crore for a show which is getting them nothing. Kapil might negotiate but the channel heads are shocked. Either Kapil has to get back Sunil and Ali, else his show stands scrapped. The latter is most likely to happen because Grover and Asgar are not ready to budge from their stand."
Sunil Grover and Ali Asgar's absence from the show is costing the makers a huge sum
because the TRPs have dipped below expectations. The show which premiered during IPL last year had maintained steady ratings throughout and was even in the top 5 shows consistently. Now, it has not found a place even in the top 10.
The audience's reaction to the show has gone for a toss because they are finding jokes unfunny and the new characters are making no difference. Plus, the failure of TKSS has pushed Sony two spots down among GECs.
This incident only goes on to show what arrogance and overconfidence can do to someone. And it doesn't matter if you are the reigning star, you will be down in no time. Kapil, you reading this?
