NEW DELHI: A case has been filed against comedian Kapil Sharma for breaching his contract for the tour of North America in 2015. As per Times of India, Sai USA Inc filed the lawsuit as Kapil was paid for six shows but he performed at only five of them. 

The TOI report mentioned that Amit Jaitly, a well-known promoter of shows in America, claimed that Kapil failed to perform in one of the six cities he had promised to and had committed to pay up for the loss. However, as per Amit, the comedian neither performed at the event nor made up for the loss. Speaking to the publication, Amit said, "He did not perform and has not responded although we tried several times to get in touch with him before the court.'' 

According to the report, the case is pending in a New York court. Sai USA Inc will 'definitely be taking legal action against him'.

Taking to their Facebook page, Sai USA shared a report on the case. They captioned the post, "SAI USA INC FILES THE LAWSUIT AGAINST KAPIL SHARMA FOR Breach of contract in 2015."

Currently, Kapil is on a tour of North America with his team of 'The Kapil Sharma Show' for their show Kapil Sharma Live. Kapil and his team members have been sharing pictures and videos from Canada and also snippets from their show.
