Television channels will pull-out all stops to cash in on the
success of its shows. For instance, Star One started the second
season of Laughter Challenge, after the resounding success of the
first. And now, the channel has decided to bring back the popular
reality dance show Nach Baliye.
The second season, Nach Baliye Dwitiya, is slated to be on air in
mid-September. Nach Baliye Dwitiya will feature new celebrity
contestants and maybe new jury members too. The channel is in the
process of giving final touches to the show. "We have the names of
25-odd couples of which we've to shortlist 10," says a source.
The channel is being discreet about the show and other details at
this point. But some couples who've been confirmed are Manav Gohil
and Shweta Kawaatra, Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan, Ram Kapoor and
Gautmi Gadgil, Ronit Roy and Neelam and Hiten Paintal and Kishwer
Merchant. These couples were considered last time as well, but they
couldn't make it to the finals.
The source adds, "The channel is keen on having these couples in
their show. Now, the ball is in their court as they are yet to
confirm their dates with us. We're still finalising the judges. We
might have Malaika Arora Khan, Saroj Khan and Farhaan Akhtar as
judges but they are yet to be finalised."
