Tassnim Sheikh, Gurdeep Kohli, Ashka Goradia and Kiran Dubey are the four field anchors for the show, while Raju Srivastav, the runner up Laughter Challenge champ, has been pencilled in to be the show's studio anchor. Says Optimystix's Vipul D Shah, "The show will be a reality cum game show of sorts, with competition between the four anchors, with travel as its main theme.

"It is going to be a race against time. The anchors will have to convince the contestants to reach a certain destination or go on a holiday (Bangkok, for instance) in two hours flat and will be given 1000 dollars which is also their prize money. The tickets will be booked in advance, as we will have tie-ups

with the airports so the contestant will only have to pick up their passport from home and head for the airport. The challenge will be for the four anchors to convince people as soon as possible and whoever manages to do so first, ends up being the winner (the first to reach the airport for the free holiday gets to be the winner). So the viewers also end up rooting and praying for their favourite anchor. The contestants will have to ready themselves for the same (ready their passport, convince the family, pack up their stuff, catch a flight) in the designated time period,"says Sanjiv Sharma, creative head, Optimystix. The production house isn' t new to the reality genre, having already co-produced Sony's Indian Idol. The house has also done Ye Meri Life Hai recently for Sony.
