Double dose of action in ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 6’

[SarfaRaZ]

MUMBAI: It seems to have become
an unwritten rule of the game. Now-
a-days broadcasters have started to
realise that reality shows can run by
getting celebrity hosts to garner more eyeballs.

A big celebrity host is a prerequisite
to launch a reality show in India.
Celebrity participants, though
important, are not mandatory; but
the bigger the host, the better.

From Salman Khan and Farah Khan in
Big Boss to Shah Rukh Khan for a
game show - India Poochega – Sabse
Shaana Kaun in the yet-to-be
launched general entertainment
channel (GEC) ‘&TV’ under the Zee
Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (Zeel)
stable. Likewise, there are many
more names in the basket.

After having popular celebrity faces
like Priyanka Chopra and Akshay
Kumar as hosts for its adventure
based reality show - Fear Factor
Khatron Ke Khiladi , last year the
show got a new face on-board.

The director, who is known for
reviving the action genre on the
celluloid, Rohit Shetty who hosted
the fifth edition of the series, will
continue to host the sixth season as
well.

According to Colors CEO Raj Nayak
casting in this season is the best so
far. “All faces are popular. Moreover,
the number of stunts has increased
and you will see a lot of variations.
Last year, it was the best season ever
and this time we hope it surpasses
that."

The show, which goes on air from 7
February every Saturday and Sunday
at 9 pm, will see Ashish Choudhary,
Hussain Kuwarjerwala, Harshad
Arora, Iqbal Khan, Sana Khan.

Sagrika
Ghartge, Rashami Desai, Asha Negi,
Ridhhi Dogra, Meiyang Chang, Rakesh
Kumar, Siddharth Bharadwaj,
Nathalia Kaur and Archana Vijaya
battling it out.

The contestants will stay in a ‘Darr ka
Ghar’ this time to keep the
entertainment quotient up. Adding a
twist to the take and urging the
contestants to push their boundaries
will be last year’s finalist Salman
Yusuff Khan who will be seen as a
challenger.

Endemol MD Deepak Dhar said,
“Khatron ... will be riveting for the
viewers as it has been taxing for the
contestants. We have doubled the
dose of danger, action and
entertainment this season while
introducing new concepts and themes
to make the show a truly engaging
watch. Rohit Shetty’s contribution in
making the show a complete
blockbuster has been unparalleled
and as the show prepares for launch,
we are all set for the true action to
begin.”
