“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,” the source told IANS, adding that no fresh episodes would be shot, for now.
The official statement from the channel comes after Ajay 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 Ajay Devgn later clarified that he didn’t leave in a huff.
Some reports said Kapil Sharma was partying till the wee hours and wasn’t able to wake up on time to make it to the shoot.
However, Ajay Devgn said he didn’t know the reason behind the comedian’s absence from the shoot that day.
