  • The Great Indian Kapil Show in trouble after disrespecting the legacy of Rabindranath Tagore
  • Salman Khan's team clarifies no association with the Netflix show
  • The actor's team issued a statement and denied any kind of involvement with the show

Kapil Sharma's Netflix show, The Great Indian Kapil Show, has found itself in legal trouble over allegations of disrespecting Rabindranath Tagore’s legacy. Reports have circulated claiming that Salman Khan’s production house, SKTV, was also served a legal notice due to its alleged involvement with the show. However, Salman Khan’s team has refuted these claims, issuing a statement clarifying their non-involvement.

The notice was issued by the Bongo Bhashi Mahasabha Foundation. It was sent on behalf of Dr Mondal and represented by legal advisor Nripendra Krishna Roy. The notice claims that The Great Indian Kapil Show allegedly disparages the legacy of Nobel laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore and risks offending cultural and religious sentiments.

“Certain sections of the media are reporting that Salman Khan / SKTV have also received the notice, which is incorrect as we are not associated with The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix,” the statement by Salman Khan's team read.

The Great Indian Kapil Show features a star-studded cast including Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur, and Archana Puran Singh.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film, Sikandar, alongside Rashmika Mandanna. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the movie is slated for Eid 2025 theatrical release.
