From once being the star of Sony, Kapil Sharma seems to be becoming a problem for the network. With TRPs nose diving for "The Kapil Sharma Show," Sony might cancel the show and part ways with Kapil.
According to DNA, a source close to the channel has confirmed that Sony is disappointed with all the bad press that the complete Kapil Sharma episode has brought. The dropped ratings of the show are compelling Sony to not sign Kapil again.
"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," said the source.
Meanwhile, another source told DNA that while Sunil has out rightly refused to work with Kapil in his show, Sony might be planning a new show for Sunil. However, Sony has not yet confirmed the reports.
"They are planning to invest in Sunil now for a different show altogether. Ever since the fight happened, even rival channel Colors (who have a long standing issue with Kapil) has approached Sunil for a show but he has not signed anything. Sony has rights to his characters - Rinku bhabi 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," added the another source.
