Karan Johar steps in to judge the talent reality show
Last season of the reality show, India's Got Talent (IGT), marked the television debut of yesteryear Bollywood star Dharmendra who judged it along with Sonali Bendre and Kirron Kher. His presence helped the channel rake in some great numbers. However, this season will see a change in the judging panel. There will not be three but four faces unlike the last three seasons. And while Kirron stays on, viewers will not get to see the svelte Sonali Bendre and effervescent Dharam paji on the show. This development has come as a shocker since Dharamji took the popularity of the show notches higher.
A source close to Dharmendra reveals, "Dharmendra's contract was just for one season and we knew in advance that he will be occupied with his film projects the next year. Also, if you have noticed the pattern of the show, they never repeat the male judge." Director-producer Karan Johar has replaced Dharmendra on the show. The other two judges who will join Kirron are choreographer-producer-actor Farah Khan and item diva Malaika Arora Khan. Karan confirmed, "With Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, I have seen a lot of great dancing calibre but IGT allows me to see a variety of talent that our country has to offer."
The show will be hosted by Manish Paul and Cyrus Sahukar.
