Why is Krushna Abhishek quitting The Kapil Sharma Show?

“The makers and Krushna tried their best to work things out. One of the major concerns was the fee,” a source told ETimes. The source said they were not ruling out the possibility of him returning to the show.

Krushna confirmed the news to Pinkvilla saying: "Not doing it. Agreement issues."

Another source close to the development told the online entertainment website that the new season would come in a completely new avatar with a few new artists joining the team.

The channel will soon make an official announcement of the show’s premiere date, sources told Pinkvilla.

Krushna became a fan-favourite for his portrayal of various characters such as Dharmendra, Sapna and Jaggu Dada on the show. Earlier, there were rumours about a fallout between Krushna and Kapil Sharma, leading to Krushna’s exit from the popular show. However, a source ruled out the rumour, saying Krushna did not quit over creative differences.

The Kapil Sharma Show last aired on June 5. The Jug Jugg Jeeyo team - Neetu Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani – visited the show in the last episode. Soon after Kapil Sharma and the team including Krushna, Chandan Prabhakar, Sumona Chakravarti, Kiku Sharda and Rajiv Thakur went to Vancouver for a tour.
