Kapil Sharma remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry as he gears up for the release of the second season of The Great Indian Show. Following a successful stint on television, Sharma transitioned his popular show to the OTT platform Netflix under the title The Great Indian Kapil Show. The inaugural season, which consisted of 13 episodes, was well-received, and anticipation is building for the upcoming second season.
Interestingly, while Sharma's show has been a subject of considerable attention, there is significant interest in the financial aspects surrounding the show's cast, particularly Sunil Grover. Known for his versatility and comedic talent, Grover's compensation for the first season of the show has recently come into focus. Reports reveal that Grover was paid ₹25 lakhs per episode, culminating in a total of ₹3.25 crores for the entire season.
In addition to his role on The Great Indian Show, Grover has been active in both web series and films. Notably, he commanded a fee of ₹75 lakhs for his role in Shah Rukh Khan's film Jawan. Despite his notable earnings and a total net worth of ₹21 crores, Grover's financial standing pales in comparison to Sharma’s fiscal contributions. In 2024 alone, Kapil Sharma paid an impressive ₹26 crores in taxes—an amount significantly surpassing Grover's earnings from the show.
The dynamic between Sharma and Grover has been marked by its own set of challenges. Once close friends, their relationship deteriorated in March 2017, leading to a period of estrangement that lasted several years. However, their professional paths have crossed once again, thanks to a reconciliation facilitated by Bollywood star Salman Khan. The reunion was further symbolized by their appearance together at one of Khan's social gatherings.
As both artists prepare for the new season of The Great Indian Show, it remains to be seen how their renewed collaboration will impact their careers and financial trajectories
