Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show is all set to launch with a bang as Salman Khan graces the premiere episode, streaming on Netflix from Saturday, June 21. The Bollywood superstar appears on the show to promote his latest film Sikandar, bringing his signature humour and self-deprecating wit to the comedy stage.
In a memorable segment, Salman meets a group of Bollywood lookalikes, including versions of Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and a fan dressed as Radhe Bhaiyya from Tere Naam. The highlight comes when Salman spots his own impersonator and jokingly asks, “Kaam dhanda accha chalra hai? Sikandar se koi farak to nahi pada?” The moment leaves the audience in splits. The episode also rekindles the playful banter between Archana Puran Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu, keeping the show’s trademark energy alive.
Piracy Blow for Sikandar Despite Strong Opening
Despite Sikandar collecting over Rs 120 crore at the box office, the film has reportedly taken a massive hit due to online piracy. According to Bollywood Hungama, the movie was leaked within hours of release, leading to estimated losses of around Rs 91 crore.

An insider revealed that Ernst & Young (EnY) conducted a detailed audit, comparing projected revenues against actual earnings. The firm used advanced tracking tools to monitor illegal downloads and streams, providing a data-driven loss assessment.

“These audits rely on distributor data, ticket sales, and forensic tracking of piracy. The Rs 91 crore figure is not arbitrary—it reflects genuine lost revenue,” the source stated.
As Salman draws laughs on screen, the makers of Sikandar are left grappling with the serious financial damage caused by piracy.
