Kapil Sharma backs out of Sony TV's Comedy Circus at the last minute...find out why

Kapil Sharma

Kapil Sharma is spreading his “colors” on TV these days…way too much!!!

First of all he is seen as a co host on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 6 and he is also co producing cum anchoring a wonderfully scripted show, Comedy Nights With Kapil, which has opened to great numbers. Both the above shows air on Colors.

Yes, he has struck gold with Comedy Nights, but one must not forget that Kapil gained fame via his rib-tickling antics in Sony Entertainment Television’s Comedy Circus (Optimystix).

The Comedy Circus’s next season is all set to hit screens and will be called Comedy Circus Ke Mahabali. Like every season, Kapil was approached by the makers to be a part of the project this season too.

Kapil did accept the offer but guess what; we have now learnt that he has backed out after his Colors’ show hit a jackpot.

“Kapil just walked out of the show without giving any prior notice to the channel or the producers. We were all set to shoot with him on 30 June and 1 July (2013) as part of the first episode sequences. But he backed out putting everyone in a tight spot,” said a source from the sets of Comedy.
The same source further added that the shoot had to be postponed and currently they are looking out for a replacement. However, the channel is still very keen on having Kapil in Comedy Circus.

“They are doing all that to keep him in,” the source added.

We called up and even texted Kapil to get his response on the development but he chose not to reply. Producer Vipul D Shah of Optimystix and Sneha Rajani, EVP and Business Head of Sony Entertainment Television, also remained unavailable.

If we get any revert from the concerned persons, we will update the space in a jiffy.

Before signing off, here’s some more info on Comedy Circus Ke Mahabali.

Model Claudia Ciesla (Bigg Boss Season 3) is also a part of the series.

Archana Puran Singh and Arbaaz Khan will be seen as the judges yet again while Shruti Seth will host the show.

As reported in the media, Rakhi Sawant, Vinay Pathak and Johnny Lever’s daughter too are a part of the rib-tickler.

Let me tell you one thing, this show comedy circus is running just becoz of Krishna, Sudesh and Kapil. If Kapil is gone then I must say the backbone is gone. What do you think, people are turning to CC to watch Mantra or Bharti or Purvi??? They are good for nothing. Yes new addition Sunil is doing great but Kapil leaving the show will hit this show very badly. Please bring him back else only Archana's fake laughter will be left on the show.

Comedy Nights with Kapil is just a copy of BBC UK's comedy show "The Kumars At No. 42" http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/the_kumars_at_no_42/ Even Kapil cant come up with any original ideas... Shame...

I have watched all the episodes of Comedy Nights With Kapil. When I started watching on youtube, I enjoyed it very much but after watching 2-3 episodes, I found a lot of scripted things are happening in this show. All the audience interactions with Kapil and the stars, are very much predefined. Kapil only insults the audience and the stars who come on the show. The rest of the actors in the small acts, are as boring as Purvi or Mantra. There's much less variation in the episodes. I think this show will not survive after 5-6 months.

stars are stars. u got to know how to treat them. without kapil comedy circus is almost nothing. if even archana gone there would be no effect but without kapil it will be real hard. so bring him back however.

I think Kapil has done the right thing by moving on from the non sense comedy circus which was restricted to cheap jokes made on the comedy circus team. It amazes me how the show could hold ground for so long without any sensibility. Having seen almost all episodes of Comedy Nights with Kapil one realizes how comedy circus was restricting Kapil's talent. When he can deliver fresh laughter fluently for 60 minutes straight why restrict to one small 5-10 min act?? It is obvious that portions of Comedy Nights is scripted but is then it amazes you how he listens to people, thinks, picks up a line and responds back with laughter invoking comments. Going back to Comedy Circus without Kapil .. the show was really terrible. No creativity .. Bharti doing the same old aunty acts, Mantra doing same old sattire, Archana praising uselessly, Shruti being bullied. The only good remaining in Circus is Krishna and Lehri. Otherwise, all artistes on Comedy Circus are prisoners to the mundane scripts and thinking of the exhausted script writers. All major celebrities are walking in to the sets of Comedy Nights whereas sets of Comedy Circus have gone dull. With dipping TRPs, the ongoing Comedy Circus ke Mahabali may well be the last season of Comedy Circus. Kapil is getting the best of celebrities to come on his show. He delivers with confidence standing alongside them.This is commendable. What he needs to make sure that he constantly innovates his jokes and his show. With time people will get bored of bhua and dadi non sense too. Seeing Kapil on sets of Comedy Nights reminds of Shekhar Suman in his golden days. Kapil is dressing up well .. he is super confident .. there is a glow on his face .. he is getting recognition and acceptance in industry. God bless him. Kapil Sharma has a long long way to go in Indian TV & Film Industry. Mark my words.

It seems Kapil is an' Ahsaan Faramosh' person who forgot who made him popular ? It was comdey circus which made him 'KAPIL' otherwise he would have been permorming on town-village stage show. A person must never forget his 'root'.

All those people who think that comedy circus made kapil famous need a reality check! He was a winner of Great Indian Laughter Challenge. The same show introduced bharti,sudesh lehri, rajiv thakur, and many more. comedy cirus paid them more and Colors did the same thing.
