Chandan Prabhakar, who had been associated with The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, says he initially fought with the show’s makers over what he describes as the “rejected” Kapil Sharma. According to the account reported by NDTV, Prabhakar left The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and then briefly returned to his engineering work before deciding to pursue entertainment again. The reports describe a sequence in which Prabhakar’s disagreement with the makers does not end with his own continued role; instead, Kapil Sharma ends up replacing him. While the sources summarize Prabhakar’s version of events, they focus mainly on his career steps around the period of the comedy show. After the departure from the laughter competition, he is said to have taken time away from entertainment and returned to engineering, before re-entering the industry. The combined reporting presents the storyline of a conflict over Kapil Sharma’s selection and a subsequent replacement, followed by Prabhakar’s temporary return to his previous profession.
