Mumbai: ‘The Kapil Sharma Show has landed in troubled waters. The show, which now features a number of new talents, had to do away with popular characters essayed by Sunil Grover, Ali Asgar and Chandan Prabhakar.
The trio quit the show almost a month back soon after Kapil reportedly insulted Sunil during a flight. The TRP of the show has taken a downward plunge and now been marred by a new controversy.
Abijit Ganguly, a stand up comedian has accused the makers of TKSS and Kiku Sharda of copying his jokes, a DNA report says.
According to Ganguly, Kiku apparently mouthed some dialogues which he claimes originally belongs to him. He has accused Kiku of plagiarism.
Now, reacting to the charges levelled by Ganguly, Kiku, while talking to a leading daily said, “We are a big team and brainstorm before every episode. Someone cracked this joke and we made it a part of the script. It is possible that the same idea came to our writers, or maybe they had heard it somewhere. It is not that we do not use popular SMS or Whatsapp jokes. We can’t keep track of who cracked what joke and when.”
