A huge dig at Shah Rukh and ‘Kaun Banega

As if a forefather was not bad enough, Shah Rukh Khan now has a half-sister too. To celebrate its first anniversary, Filmy has launched 'Kaun Banega Champu' (Sunday 7.30 pm, repeat Saturday 2.30 pm), a dig at 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', of course. The show has Ruk Ruk Khan (Sunil Grover) inviting celebrity (spoof) guests to come and play the fun game show. Instead of the hotseat they take the potseat (a classy silver commode), the lifeline often leads to a wrong number and the audience voting meter is actually the remote control for the studio air-conditioner with freezing results or otherwise… the best part is the prize. "We are not giving any fake money," Filmy marketing and content head Shailesh Kapoor tells. "Instead, it will be jumma ka chumma, kholi no. 420, maa ka aashirwad…as the contestant slowly goes up the ladder of success." And in case you are wondering what champu means, the answer is 'idiot'. No lifeline there.
