Comedian Sudigali Sudheer has been a household name, thanks to 'Extra Jabardasth' on ETV. His rumoured love track with Rashmi Gautam needs no introduction. The viewers have revelled in rumour-mongering about the love affair.

Sudheer has also been known for 'Dhee' and 'Sridevi Drama Company'. He hasn't been seen in the new season of 'Dhee'.

In a new development, it seems Sudheer has been shown the door by ETV in the case of 'Extra Jabardasth' and 'Sridevi Drama Company' as well. The comedian has been doing 'Super Singer Jr' for Star Maa alongside Anasuya Bharadwaj. The promos of the latest episodes of the ETV shows have no presence of Sudheer. This has given rise to the speculation that Sudheer may have opted out of ETV or that the channel itself has asked him to excuse himself.

In an upcoming 'Extra Jabardasth' episode for which Anil Ravipudi is the chief guest, we don't see either Sudheer or 'Get Up' Srinu.

As for 'Sridevi Drama Company', the promo suggests that Rashmi Gautam has stepped into Sudheer's shoes. In the promo, we see 'Hyper' Aadi pulling Rashmi's legs by saying that those who pick a quarrel with her will have to move from a comedy show to a singing show. It seems to be a sly dig at Sudheer having been shunted out of the ETV shows.

The question is: did Sudheer and Rashmi do it all in a pre-planned manner?
