Kapil Sharma has done it again. After keeping a series of his star guests waiting for hours to shoot for his comedy show in the past, often resorting to not showing up at all, the comedian-actor on Sunday irked the Baadshaho team by not reporting to work to shoot an upcoming episode. Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Ileana D'cruz and Esha Gupta were on the show's sets at the call time of 11 am but left in 15 minutes after the host failed to show up.

A source says, “The film's team had been in touch with Kapil's team since the previous night to ensure that everything went as per the plan. It was decided that the camera would roll at 11 am and Kapil's team assured them that he would arrive on time. Even before the stars could leave from their respective residences, Kapil's team claimed he was on his way and it won't take time ­ they claimed Kapil was at a hotel which is only 15 minutes away from the studio.“

Despite best laid plans, the Baadshaho team was in for a rude shock upon arrival. “Kapil's team informed them that the show host hadn't woken up and if they waited for him, it would take at least two more hours for him to get ready and reach the venue. There was no update from Kapil's end after that so the actors walked out at 11.15am,“ the source adds, further revealing that Devgn and Co have no plans to return to shoot said episode. “They don't have more dates to shoot the episode as they are already blocked for other shows. Moreover, the turn of events on Sunday has upset them.“

In the recent past, Kapil bailed out of shooting with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma for Jab Harry Met Sejal, while schedules with team Mubarakan and Guest Iin London had to be cancelled on account of his ill health. Mirror had earlier reported (January 5) about Kapil having kept Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur waiting for five hours during the promotion of Ok Jaanu. He turned up only when the actress threatened to walk out.

Amidst incessant reports that The Kapil Sharma Show was headed for a premature shutdown in light of the show host's erratic behaviour on set and a widely publicised fallout with Sunil Grover, the show was renewed for another season earlier this month. Today, a shooting schedule with the Poster Boys cast members Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade was cancelled by the film's producers for fear of suffering a similar fate as Kapil's previous guests.

Meanwhile, according to the source, the night before he was scheduled to shoot with Ajay and Co, Kapil was partying at a filmmaker friend's birthday bash filmmaker friend's birthday till 6 am so he couldn't wake up on time for the shoot on Sunday.
