More than being in the news for its content quality, Sunil Grover’s ‘Mad in India’, has been in the news for the wrong reasons. The last time we told you that the show might go off air soon as it is not generating enough revenue to survive in the market.

And now, grapevine has it that the show’s leading men – Manish Paul and Sunil Grover – are having a tough time working with each other over some issues.

Souces reveal that Manish is unhappy with the format of the show. Manish wants the celeb interviews he does to be a separate part of the show but Sunil has put his foot down upon this. As a result, Manish is unwilling to continue working in the show and wishes to walkout. However, there are little chances of this happening as he is in contract with Star Plus which he can’t break abruptly.

In fact, results have shown that viewership recedes during the celeb interviews. At times, when Sunil has tried interrupting the interview to make it more fun, this attempt has not gone down well with Manish.

The problem lies in the fact that Sunil is not allowed to participate in the scripting of the episodes unlike his contemporary Kapil Sharma.

That’s not affair idea if the show really wants to get above the radar.
