Despite toning down the roast format of Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza, Krushna Abhishek and his team are finding it difficult to get A-list actors on the show. Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor have refused to go on the show to promote their film Befikre. However, they have made the rounds of other reality shows like The Kapil Sharma Show and Super Dancer.

When asked about it, Krushna said, “I don’t know what happened. Ranveer had come earlier on the show to promote Bajirao Mastani and had fun. At that time we were following the roast format! Ranveer loves Bharti (Singh) and me and he has so much energy, he is ideal for a show like ours. In fact, the episode with him is one of our best so far. So, I am surprised at Ranveer’s refusal  to come on CNB. Especially, since we have mellowed it down to such an extent that the roast is almost non-existent.”

Earlier Tannishtha Chatterjee and John Abraham had got upset with the comments made against them on the show, and Krushna had apologised to both. Since then, the format of the show has undergone a complete change. Says Krushna, “Now, we brief the actors completely about what is going to happen on the show and if they are comfortable with it, we go ahead. If not, we either mellow it down or chop it off completely. Earlier also, we would give them an idea, but not tell them about the punches. All that has changed now. It’s like Comedy Circus where we perform gags followed by a little masti and leg-pulling.”

Where does he see the show heading, especially as the absence of big stars and the change of format has led to a dip in the ratings? “Yes, I am aware of that. But it will take at least a month-and-a-half for the actors to realise that the format has changed. We don’t want to spoil relationships with people just for a show. Now, I am hoping to get Shah Rukh Khan for Raees,” signs of Krushna, who is yet to mend fences with John.
