‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ on Star Plus won by Abhishek Walia

[Shantanu]

After a gap of nine years, ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ (TGILC) is making a comeback in a brand-new avatar. Hindi GEC Star Plus will launch the popular comedy show by the end of September.

The new season of TGILC will feature Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar as the main judge, called ‘Super Boss’ on the show. The show has revised the process of judging by introducing mentors/ captains who will lead and train their respective teams.

The mentors who will lead the team comprise the popular stand-up comedians Zakhir Khan, Mallika Dua and Hussain Dalal.

The makers are also in talks with comedian Sunil Grover to come on board as a host of the show.

They had earlier shortlisted TV actress Elli Avram as the host but are now rethinking their decision.
A source from the production house said, “It’s a laughter show and we have had screen tests and rehearsals with our mentors and host Elli. We now feel she doesn’t fit the bill and isn’t able to pull off Hindi as required for the show. We’re now in talks with Sunil Grover and working on dates. If all goes well, we will have him as the host.”

Don't know why Star Plus took this decision?? This show should be air on LifeOK revamp mode Star Bharat. Because, that's the new channel which need more number of good shows like this to get popular.
