Sony TV's Comedy Circus Ke Mahabali to end; Producers working on a new format

It’s pack-up time for Sony Entertainment Television’s Comedy Circus Ke Mahabali (Optimystix Productions).
The show had been failing to get decent TRPs for the last few months with the GEC space being bombarded with other comedy shows like Comedy Nights With Kapil (Colors) and Mad In India (Star Plus). Hence, the channel finally decided on pulling the plug last week.
Currently the show has an episodic bank hence; it should air till the end of this month.
We also hear that the production has told the artists that it will come back with its next season (revamped) soon but there is no clarity on it yet.
RJ Mantra confirmed and said, “Yes, the show is going off-air as of now but we will be back after two month’s break.”
When asked if they were informed about the show going off-air just three days before their last shoot he denied it and went on to add, “Talks were on for four to five months on re-vamping the show. We’ve been running the same format for seven years now (the show will complete 8 years on 31 March). But, the idea was to re-vamp it while the show was still on.”
Why the break? “It got difficult to work on a new concept while on-air and that’s when the break came in the picture.”
Will the new format be on the lines of Comedy Nights With Kapil? “Most of the new shows are inspired from the west whereas Comedy Circus is original. In fact, Kapil’s show itself is taken from Kumar’s at No. 42. So, we will be back with an original format.”
We also tried contacting Producers Vipul D Shah and Sanjeev Sharma but they did not revert.
We will get you more on the same.
