| Star Plus has launched another reality show for singers who didn't win titles in shows like Voice of India, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Fame Gurukul and Indian Idol. The show, titled Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar, is a platform that divides the most popular small-screen musical reality idols between the champions (winners) and challengers (runner's-up) of reality shows. The show also marks the comeback of director Farah Khan, who was away on maternity leave. The director, who is quite excited and happy to be back, says, "The reason why I am doing this show is because, I would be shooting once in a week and secondly the most important factor is that judges will have 50 per cent power in judging the contestants unlike other reality show." Along with Farah, the show would also have music directing duo Vishal Dadlani and Shekar Ravijani as the other judges. Mandira Bedi will be hosting the show. Speaking about the format of the show producer Vaibhav Modi from Endemol said, "Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar is an original concept, we can call it tailor-made." The champions (winners of previous reality shows) in the show include Abhijeet Sawant, Aishwarya Nigam, Debojit Saha, Ishmeet Singh, Ruprekha Banerjee and Ujjaini Mukherjee while the challengers (runner's-up in previous reality show) include Amit Sana, Amit Tandon, Harshit Saxena, Rahul Vaidya, Prajakta Shukre, Neha Kakkar and Himani Kapoor to name a few. Farah, who also judged Indian Idol, heaved a sigh of relief at the prospect of judging only good singer. "I have not done TV shows for two years now and judging this is going to really tough because you are choosing from the best of best." Vishal says, "While choosing the winner, we only have to look at the singing aspect." www.deccan.com |
