Kapil Sharma, a household name in Indian comedy for over a decade, remains one of the most bankable stars in the industry. This popularity reflects not just in the audience’s love but also in the hefty fee he commands for each episode. According to reports from the Free Press Journal, Kapil charges a whopping Rs 5 crore per episode — an astronomical sum that underscores his superstar status.
While Kapil’s fee makes headlines, the rest of the talented team also earns impressive amounts. Co-stars like Sunil Grover reportedly earn around Rs 25 lakhs per episode, while others such as Archana Puran Singh and Krushna Abhishek draw about Rs 10 lakhs each. The supporting cast members also command fees ranging from Rs 6 to 7 lakhs per episode, highlighting the show’s status as a premium comedy extravaganza.
Kapil recently expressed his excitement about the show’s return and hinted at even bigger plans for Season 3. “Coming back for another season truly feels like coming home to family — and this time, the family’s only getting bigger! Every season, we’ve brought together an exciting mix of guests from all walks of life to keep the laughs rolling and the energy fresh,” he said.
This season’s premiere will feature the cast of the movie Metro In Dino, setting the stage for a line-up that includes popular Indian cricketers such as Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Sharma, and Yuzvendra Chahal. Additionally, reports suggest that Navjot Singh Sidhu might make a comeback, possibly filling in for Archana Puran Singh, who is currently away on a family vacation in Switzerland.
With its mix of humor, star power, and heartfelt moments, The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 2 looks set to be a major hit once again — all while Kapil Sharma continues to command the biggest paycheck on Indian TV comedy.
