During the recent interview with the mentioned publication, Chandan pointed out that Kapil Sharma's team is facing new challenges as they transition from TV to an OTT platform. This change has understandably caused some hesitation among the team members. Chandan also mentioned that experimenting with the show does not always guarantee success. He emphasized that there is no specific formula for making the show successful, as things tend to fall into place over time.
Elaborating on it further, he said, “The old format was for Sony television in which I was also a major part. I don’t think they would be allowed by the channel to take the same format or pattern forward on Netflix as well.” Moreover, the team also wants to add something fresh to their concepts. According to him, the show's team has made some little changes in the format of the show but it seems like it is not working for them. 
Highlighting his experience of working with the team, Chandan mentioned that earlier when he used to work with the team, everything used to feel normal in the beginning but later, after a few episodes, it turned funnier as the flow built.
Additionally, the 43-year-old suggested to the creative team of The Great Indian Kapil Show to pay attention to the audience's feedback and make necessary adjustments. It is important to cater to the audience's preferences, as the show is created for their enjoyment. If the audience is not entertained, then the show loses its purpose.
