MUMBAI: Bollywood, jazz, hip-hop, salsa, waltz... if you think you've seen it all, the upcoming season seven ofJhalak Dikhla Jaseven, Colors popular dance reality show, promises many more dance forms from around the world that you've never heard of, let alone seen.
7 June onward, audiences will be treated to a bigger, better, bolder edition of JDJ every Saturday and Sunday night on Colors at 9pm.
A premium television property modeled on the international showDancing with the Stars, JDJ will see 13 celebrity contestants battling it out for the best dancer title. Dancing diva Madhuri Dixit will be back as judge and will be seen performing some of the new dance forms.
This season, Karan Johar, who seemed to be the easiest to please judge until now, will take on a no-nonsense avatar focusing purely on performance. Remo will sport a grunge look to go with his surly demeanor and promises to be a hard taskmaster where contestants are concerned.
Joining the jury will be Ukranian dance expert and winner ofDancing with the StarsMaksim Chmerkovskiy, taking the competition to a global level.
This season, viewers will see new hosts in Ranvir Shorey and last season’s winner Drashti Dhami. Performances will no longer be confined to the stage but will venture outdoors as well. Upping the ante, Salman Yusuff Khan and Lauren Gotteib will take on the role of adversaries and challenge contestants in an exciting dance combat.
Popular comic Sudesh Lehri will provide comic relief in the all dance routine.
About the new season, Colors CEO Raj Nayak says, “We are very excited because this time, we are trying a lot of new things. We have lots of new elements, lots oftadka, and you will see this season leaping to another level.”
Laughs Dixit, “Contestants have to learn to earn it, and the new anchors will too have to earn it."
Says Nayak, “It’s always been tough. But this time, we are going to make it that much tougher. We are going to take contestants out of their comfort zones and India will get to see forms of dancing they have never seen on any other dance show ever."
BBC Worldwide India SVP and GM and content head, Asia, Myleeta Aga, who makes it a point to start penning down ideas for the next season as soon as one season starts, "Colors is an amazing broadcaster to work with. They are real supporters of content and they understand the importance of making a production work about scale, think of innovation. It is a great partnership."
Nayak says of all the elements, casting is most difficult. “It is the most difficult thing, because people who want to come on the show are the people we don’t want, and people who we want on the show don’t want to come on the show and it takes a lot of convincing," he laughs.
