This Actor BACKS OUT from Sony TV's Comedy Circus!

Comedy Circus is all set to return to the television screens after a 4 year hiatus.

And the one thing that remains the same in this season of the show is the judges panel, which will once again consist of Archana Puran Singh and Sohail Khan.

It was also reported yesterday as to how Polish Actress Joanna Robaczewska will be replacing actress Shruti Seth, who has hosted seven seasons of the show.

As of now, the media has reported few names that will be seen on the show including the likes of actors Anita Hassanandani, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Karishma Sharma, Tejasswi Prakash, Mubin Saudagar, Shiny Doshi, Siddharth Sharma and Paritosh Tripathi among others.

However, a small change has occurred in the above mentioned line up, which happens to be the exit of Dheeraj Dhoopar from the show. Yes, Dheeraj backed out of the show at the last minute as per a report in Bombay Times. And, according to the same report, Anita was roped in to replace him.

Dheeraj was quoted in the daily as saying that he realised during rehearsals that he had to devote more time to comedy and because of his packed schedule due to Kundali Bhagya, he had no option but to bow out of the project.

Such a bummer for Dheeraj's fans.
