THIS BOLLYWOOD STAR IS RETURNING TO THE SMALL SCREEN WITH AN INTERNATIONALLY POPULAR GAME SHOW ON STAR PLUS WHILE KBC IS PUT ON HOLD
SRK was signed by Star TV to host KBC for two years with an option to do more seasons. However, after doing one sea son, which ended in April last year, Star Plus is launching a brand new game show with Shah Rukh as host. The new show is based on Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader, the biggest global hit of the past year and is said to have a bigger, better and far more exciting format than KBC.
Produced by Siddhartha Basu's Synergy Adlabs for Star Plus, the title of the new game show is yet to be decided. When contacted for more details about the show's format and whether it has as big prize money as KBC, Basu refused to comment. "All I can say right now is that Shah Rukh Khan will be hosting the Indian version of Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader, the biggest global hit of the past year, which will be produced by Synergy Adlabs," said Basu. He also refused to comment on why a new game show is being launched with Shah Rukh instead of going ahead with the fourth season of KBC as decided before.
However, according to Keertan Adyanthaya, executive vice president and general manager of Star Plus, KBC has not been dumped yet. "We have the contract and we will revive the show some time in future. But right now we are working on this brand new show which has a huge format and is a hit show in as many as 50 countries," he added.
Adyanthaya further said that Star Plus is a pioneering company in television programming. "We believe in innovating and offering fresh, bigger and better content," he said.
