Sony
Entertainment Television and Kapil Sharma have renewed their partnership. Despite
persistent rumours that the channel may terminate the comedian’s contract,
Sony has extended Kapil’s contract by a year.

Sunil Grover And Kapil Sharma On Sets Of Their Comedy Show
For those who
have come in late, Kapil Sharma’s equation with Sony was apparently affected
after the comedian attacked his The Kapil Sharma Show co-star Sunil Grover
while aboard a flight.
Kapil’s contract
was supposed to be renewed in April but three months passed without an announcement.
Then there
was the issue of Kapil’s health. Over the past couple of months, the
comedian had fainted on the sets thrice.
In Dhir's Guest
In London cast Paresh Rawal, Kartik Aryan, and Kriti Kharbanda were already on
the sets to promote their film when Kapil fell ill and the shoot was called
off.
Then Shah Rukh
Khan and director Imtiaz Ali had to return from Filmcity after Kapil Sharma
fainted just before the shoot was about to start.
The Mubarakan cast also returned without shooting as Kapil once again got sick.
But it looks like
Sony and Kapil are making it work.
