When SAB Ka Bheja Fry was launched, the producer and the channel bigwigs were boasting about how different their show was going to be. Though the show is been on air for barely two months but its format has under gone a sea change. A show that primarily comprised of gags and sitcoms will now be reduced to a stand-up comedy show.

Low TRPs have forced the channel to introduce Comedy Circus' participants on this show. The likes of Swapnil Joshi, Shakeel have already made their presence felt. VIP (Vijay Ishwarlal Pawar) will follow suit. With these men at the helm, it gives little screen space to other proven performers such as Suresh Menon, Kiku, and Kunal Kumar.

"I wasn't aware of this development until I saw these guys (Comedy Circus) on the sets. I was taken aback by it. However, we actors don't have any say in finalizing the star cast." says an actor on condition of anonymity.

Another actor adds, "Any show is all about TRPs. Unfortunately, our show wasn't quite doing well. Comedy Circus was a huge success, so SAB TV decided to rope in these actors. If these guys help increase the TRPs, it's fine with me. I'm just happy to be playing my little part"

Producer Abhimanyu Singh offered a different tale, "The change in format is done so as to add to the shows variety. Also, it isn't that the Comedy Circus guys alone will do stand-up comedy. Suresh Menon will be there."

One person who decided against stand-up comedy is Kiku. The burly actor says, "Stand-up comedy has never been my forte. Plus, I'm only working for few days for SAB Ka... as I have other commitments. However, I have no intention of quitting the show. I'll continue doing the gags."

Low TRPs have resulted into Comedy Circus's contestants entering SAB Ka.. We wonder, if these guys help in increasing the TRPs then will there be any need for Swapnil Joshi and co.'s predecessors?
