Kapil Sharma, one of India’s most celebrated comedians, continues to impress with his massive earnings. Even after his shift from TV to OTT platforms, Kapil’s popularity has not waned. His earnings from one day of shooting for his show now match what Bollywood actors like Bobby Deol charge for an entire film.
Kapil’s High Fees for OTT Show
Kapil Sharma’s current show, The Great Indian Kapil Show, is being streamed on Netflix. After the success of the first season, the second season is now live, and a third one is already in the works. According to reports, Kapil charges an impressive Rs 5 crore per episode. Since his team works in one shift, which lasts around 8-9 hours, Kapil essentially earns Rs 5 crore in just one day of shooting.
Comparing to Bobby Deol’s Fees
What makes this even more astonishing is that this amount equals the fee that veteran actor Bobby Deol charges for a full-length movie. Bobby, who has been in the industry for over 30 years, reportedly charges Rs 5 crore for films like Kanguva and Thalapathy69. While Bobby has to dedicate weeks or months for a film, Kapil makes the same amount in just a single day of shooting.
Success Beyond TV
Kapil Sharma has been a household name since his early days on TV, where he entertained audiences for over a decade. However, his move to Netflix has expanded his reach even further. In fact, Kapil’s first season on Netflix had 13 episodes, meaning he earned Rs 75 crore from just one season alone.
The second season has already released five episodes, and more are in the pipeline. With the third season confirmed, Kapil’s earnings are only set to skyrocket further.
A Look at Kapil’s Wealth
Kapil Sharma’s net worth is estimated to be around Rs 300 crore. He first gained national attention in 2007 when he won The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. Later, in 2013, he launched his own show on TV, which ran successfully for 10 years before moving to OTT.
With his shift to streaming platforms, Kapil continues to dominate the entertainment industry, proving that his influence and popularity are far from fading.
