“The show is not going anywhere. It is still here and during the break, we are putting repeats at the 8.00 p.m slot,” news agency quoted a source as saying, adding that no fresh episodes would be shot, for now.
The official statement from the channel comes after Devgn visited the sets of the show to promote his forthcoming film Baadshaho earlier this week. He had reportedly walked out from the sets in anger after Kapil failed to arrive for the shoot, though Devgn later clarified that he hadn’t left in a huff.
Meanwhile, Kapil also confirmed that his show was going off-air for some time, but there is still some good news for his fans. The comedian, while talking to an entertainment portal, promised that it was going to be a drop of a just a few episodes as he would return back with full force.
