"Mujhe aise show ki koi zaroorat nahin hain. Lagta hein Sony ko bhi meri zaroorat nahi hein," lashed out singer Udit Narayan at music composer Javed Akhtar on the sets of Indian Idol 3. The row started when Javed Akhtar made edgy remarks about the poor hosting skills of Aditya Narayan (Udit's son), the host of Zee's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa โ Challenge 2007, say sources.
Last month, Aditya was chosen above other contestants for the role due to his sound musical background, training in UK with three distinctions in western music, and his style of managing big crowds, says Tarun Mehra of Zee TV. The five judges confirmed for the show are Ismail Darbar, Bappi Lahiri, Himesh Reshammiya, Vishal-Shekhar. On the hand, Udit is a jury member of Indian Idol 3 along Alisha Chinai, Anu Malik, and Javed Akhtar. Incidentally, the weekend Zee TV launches Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Sony Entertainment Television, Asia, will be introducing the third series of its musical talent show,
Indian Idol 3.
While the two shows fight for audiences' attention on May 4, it seems that seniors of the musical fratenity will be on guard lest they cross Udit the wrong way.
