Archana Puran Singh and Satish Shah In Comedy Circus

If sources are to be believed, the otherwise humorous Satish Shah is throwing tantrums galore on the sets of Sony's Comedy Circus. When the show had started, Shah, who is part of the jury comprising Archana Puran Singh and Johnny Lever, had reservations about shooting beyond 6 pm. The producers (Optimystix Entertainment) had to sweet-talk the senior actor in shooting for them. Says a unit member on condition of anonymity, "Shah has been difficult right from the beginning. He had told us that he doesn't work after six in the evening. We couldn't have let him go at 6 pm, as we shoot two episodes on a day."

After much coaxing, Shah agreed to shoot, but later he urged the producers to change the chairs given to the jury, which according to him were extremely uncomfortable. This led the producers to enquire with the other jury members — Archana and Johnny. But they had no complaints as far as their seats were concerned. Nevertheless, Shah was given a plush chair. Says a member from the production company, "He had a problem with his chair. We had to get him another chair."

The female contenders of the show, Ketaki Dave, Urvashi Dholakia and Karishma Tanna are not really fond of Satish Shah. Apparently, he meted out special treatment to the male contestants Swapnil Joshi and Ali Asgar.

However, producer Vipul D Shah refuses to divulge details. He says, "Satish Shah is extremely sweet. I don't think he is unpopular on the show. For his last show, Sarbhai v/s Sarbhai he wasn't shooting after 6 pm. But when we asked to shoot for us, he agreed."

Satish Shah was not available for comment.
