As per the sources, “Kapil suffered a slip disc while working out in the gym for Abbas Mustan’s film. He has gone to Vancouver for his treatment and will rest for a month after returning to Mumbai. The channel was contemplating if the other characters on Comedy Nights should also be given a break while they work out a fresh concept for the show. However, they eventually decided to run it with the current characters and rope in four big names as hosts.”
Kapil Sharma, Indian stand-up comedian, actor, TV host, producer and singer, who single-handedly made his show one of the most watched shows internationally will not be hosting Comedy Nights for a few weeks. However, the producers will not be taking the show off-air, as reported earlier.
Rumours has it that due to some injury while working out, Kapil Sharma is advised to not host the show which left the producers in a desperate search for a replacement. Up till now, Arshad Warsi and Sajid Khan have been roped in to host the show for a week individually. Even Karan Johar’s name is under consideration to fill the spot for a week.
While the show producers have not declared anything publically, we guess that the viewers are in for a surprise.
