The Great Indian Kapil Show: Comedy King Kapil Sharma’s show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ is ready to rock Netflix since 21 June 2025 with its third season. This time the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu in the show has created a wave of excitement among the fans. But the center of discussion is Sidhu’s huge fee, which has also left behind the legend like Sunil Grover. The show also includes stars like Archana Puran Singh, Kiku Sharda, Krishna Abhishek and Rajiv Thakur but Sidhu’s fees surprised everyone.
Sidhu who is famous for his poets and laughter. In 2018, used to charge about 10-12 lakh rupees per episode for ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’.
Sunil Grover, who is considered to be the life of the show. Charge around Rs 10-12 lakh per episode. His comic timing and characters like Gutthi and Dr. famous Gulati have won the hearts of the audience but Sidhu’s fees left him behind this time. According to a report, there has been a slight increase in Sunil’s fees this season. But the discussion of Sidhu’s brand value and his return has given a new height to his fees.
Kapil Sharma himself charge 20-25 lakh rupees per episode. Which shows his popularity as the show’s host and producer. The budget of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ is much larger than ever in this season as Netflix has made the shooting of a premiere episode with guests like Salman Khan grand. Sidhu’s return and his fees indicate that the show producers consider his poets and spots to be a big attraction for the audience.
Along with the announcement of Sidhu’s return, Archana Puran Singh was seen to be surprised in a promo. In the promo, Kapil jokingly says ‘Archana ji, tie a bandage on your mouth.’ Archana laughed and said ‘Kapil, where are you taking me?’ Sidhu’s return has created a fun but challenging situation for Archana because his poets and laughter are going to be the glory of the show again.
Sidhu left Kapil’s show in 2019 due to political controversies. Regarding his return, he said, ‘There were politics, conspiracies took place, I had to leave Kapil’s show.’ Now his return is a nostalgic moment not only for the show but also for the fans. Sidhu’s poetry, laughter and hajirjwabi are going to give a new color to the show.
