Star hunts for a Jodi of a different kind

It will take only an absolute winner to take on from where KBC2 left off -- Jodi Kamaal Ki is hoping to create just the amount of magic that will keep the viewers glued to their television sets at that time slot.

The concept of the game show, although not unique, is very interesting -- it will test the level of compatibility between celeb couples and have some fun doing it too.

"It's a fun show. There is no nail biting finish or a great prize at stake. We will give them a hamper that is more like a token of appreciation," says director, Deepak Gattani, who was also the director of the immensely successful show on Star One, Nach Baliye.

There's one major difference between Nach Baliye and Jodi...- this time around Star has invited celeb couples from different walks of life. Celeb couples like former Union Finance Minister, Yashwant Sinha and his writer wife, Neelima, former cricketer Shrikant and his wife, the director duo Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, and Nach Baliye couples, Varun- Rajeshwari, Manish - Poonam and Rohit - Mansi will be part of the show. The date of the launch of the show is yet to be decided.

The format of the show too is very intriguing. There will be three different couples on each episode and they will play various games to show their compatibility with their other half.

"It's a very subtle communication. It's fun and very interactive without being competitive. There will be celebs from different walks of life," says Gattani.

The team has already canned the first schedule of the show and will start the second soon. The celebs had initial reservations about the show, but gave in once the concept was explained to them. "They were all very sporting and took the whole thing in the right spirit. I had no problems shooting with them," points out Gattani.

Rendezvouz with Simi Garewal, Nach Baliye and Koffee with Karan have, at some point or the other dealt with celeb couples, and all of them were successes in some degrees, Jodi...is definitely on its way!
