Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show: Chandan Prabhakar reacts to season 1 ending early, says, 'Initially things felt average'

After emerging as a household name with The Kapil Sharma Show, comedian Kapil Sharma went one step ahead by entering the OTT platform with Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show. While the cast of the show was the same, it has struggled to find ratings and audience’s appreciation.

While the reports of the first season of The Great Indian Kapil Show ending are surfacing on the internet, Chandan Prabhakar, who was an integral part of The Kapil Sharma Show reacted to the situation.

“Ab television zone se bahar nikal kar OTT ke liye kuch kar rahe hain, toh ek hesitation bhi rehti hai team main. Whenever we experiment with a show, there’s no guarantee it will work. There’s no formula to making it a success, woh cheezein apne aap ho jaati hain. However, I feel eventually it will start working, but yes, it will take time for sure,” said Prabhakar while talking to HT.

He added, “Jo bhi logon ki observations hain about the jokes, team ko zaroor mind main rakhna chahiye as to what people are thinking and saying, kyunki logon ke liye hi show bana rahe hain. And if they don’t get the entertainment they are seeking, then what’s the point?”

The comedian further explained, “The old format was tailored for Sony television, where I played a significant role. I believe the channel might not permit the exact same format to be used on Netflix. Additionally, the team was keen on introducing something new and fresh. Some minor changes have been made, though they might not be very obvious.”

Chandan shared his earlier experiences with the team and said, “Initially, things felt normal and average, but they gradually became funnier with each episode. It all falls into place eventually. Therefore, I am confident that they will also resolve this current issue in due course.”
