HOLLYWOOD BOLLYWOOD ‘WE ARE CHANGING THE SHOW’S FORMAT’ TELEVISION

Comedian Krushna Abhishek is planning content revamp to cope with the pressure of replacing The Kapil Sharma Show

In order to meet the audience’s high expectations, comedian Krushna Abhishek is tweaking the format and content of his show, The Drama Company, which will replace The Kapil Sharma Show.

“We have made some changes. We are planning more changes in the content as there is a lot of pressure. We will come with a new team and we are still discussing what to do,” he says.

On Thursday evening, Sony Entertainment announced that due to Kapil Sharma’s health issues, the channel and the comedian have decided to take a break and come back when Kapil is better.

“As a colleague, I personally want healthy competition but I don’t want him to get unwell. I want him to come back. I don’t know what has happened, why he isn’t shooting and why the shoots are getting cancelled,” says Krushna, whose show will now air at 9pm, instead of the earlier time slot of 8pm to 9pm.

He adds that the team of The Drama Company doesn’t want Kapil to “come down” and “genuinely want his speedy recovery”. “I was happy with my 8pm to 9pm slot but if the channel has decided something, I can’t do anything about it. We won’t go against the channel’s wishes, right? The thing is, we don’t want Kapil to be unwell and take a backseat. If he was healthy and then not doing the show, it would have been a different thing,” says the comedian.

Kapil and Krushna have not been on good terms lately, with the latter recently saying that he is a performer, while Kapil is just a stand-up comedian.
