But Kapil is coming back on your TV set this Sunday. His contract with the channel ends two weeks from now and sources say he will take a call in the next eight days whether he continues to remain in the same space.
SpotboyE.com has it that many channels have met up with him to discuss the possibility of airing his show and Kapil is seriously considering the offers.
So why does Colors want him back? A source says, "Their episodes with Arshad Warsi and Sajid Khan didn't go down well with their viewers, who have been demanding that Kapil should return."
What remains to be seen is if Kapil and Colors can sort out their issues quickly before any other channel lures him away.
SpotboyE.com exclusively brought you the inside story of Kapil's issues with the channel in question (We may have seen the last of Kapil on Comedy Nights, July 2).
Kapil was mighty miffed with Colors for having pushed his show to the 10.30 pm slot. That aside, Kapil's show was not being aired until 10.37 pm. And this was happening because the channel wanted more traffic on India's Got Talent. The viewers would switch to the channel from 10.20 pm for Kapil, and they would end up seeing a chunk of India's Got Talent. That helped to increase the TRPs of IGT.
The fight intensified when Kapil asked the channel to ensure that his show goes back to 10 pm, but now the channel had another new offspring Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
The channel refused to budge and at one point when their tempers flared, they even told Kapil that they'll make the show without him.
But today is a different story. Kapil is not being told anymore that the show will be made without him.
