Kapil Sharma’s fees for his show, The Great Indian Kapil Show has allegedly been revealed. If a new report is to go by, the comedian-host has charged a bomb for the five episodes he has so far aired. Not only has Kapil’s pay for the show been reportedly revealed, the new report has also revealed his co-stars Archana Puran Singh and Sunil Grover’s fees for the show. The Great Indian Kapil Show streams on Netflix.
According to a report by Media, Kapil Sharma has allegedly charged a staggering amount of Rs 26 crore for 5 episodes. That’s a little over than Rs 5 crores per episode. The report added Sunil Grover, who reunited with Kapil about seven years after their fallout, is charging a shocking Rs 25 lakh per episode.
The report also claimed that Archana Puran Singh, who usually sits between the audience, is getting paid Rs 10 lakhs per episode. Meanwhile, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and Rajiv Thakur are being paid Rs 10 lakh, Rs 7 lakh, and Rs 6 lakh, respectively, as per the report.
Kapil Sharma kicked off The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix on March 30. Since its premiere, it has aired five episodes. While he began the series with Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor, he has so far hosted the team of Amar Singh Chamkila — Diljit Dosanjh, Parineeti Chopra and Imtiaz Ali — and recently hosted Aamir Khan.
Last month, Kapil told the media in a press release, “Sunil, Krushna, Kiku, Rajiv and I have been friends for a very long time and how you see us on screen, is how we are in real life. And yes, we love Archana ji – I had to say this because she’s holding my house help hostage. ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ is an extension of all of us in many ways and thanks to Netflix, you can watch us anytime, anywhere. Just remember, a new episode drops every Saturday.”
