Kapil Sharma’s show to move to another channel

Kapil Sharma, whose super successful three-year stint on Comedy Nights With Kapil on Colors ends on January 17, is planning to take the show to a rival channel. A member of the Comedy Nights team reveals, “We are all together in this. When the show ends on January 17, we’ll take a break for three months and then return in another avatar.”

According to reliable sources several channels have shown a keen interest in the show. “We may have to change the title, and even the format as these belong to Colors. But the core members of the show — Kapil, Sunil Grover, Ali Asgar, Kiku Sharda and Navjot Singh Sidhu — will remain,” the team member added.

Meanwhile, the rival show Comedy Nights Bachao, which is responsible for the exit of Comedy Nights With Kapil, continues to ‘roast’ its celebrity guests. Not everyone is happy with the treatment meted out to those at the receiving end. There were whispers about how Shah Rukh Khan asked for his episode to be edited. A source says, “Kapil Sharma has generated a lot of goodwill for his show and for the channel. Sadly, guests are wary of being on the other show.”
