As Nach Baliye 3 comes to an end later this month, thinking heads at Star Plus have got cracking on their next celebrity reality television show, Friends Forever. Originally, a prime time entertainment show in Denmark, the show has celebrities flanked by two of their best friends to participate in a series of gripping tasks.

Presently, the channel authorities are in talks with a host of Bollywood and television celebrities as they start shooting in the first week of January, next year.

Each episode will have two teams featuring two celebrities and their friends. The series of tasks, on this weekend show, will test how well the best friends know their celebrity friend.

Ronit Roy

A source from the channel informs, "During the course of the show, celebrities will also reveal hidden aspects of their lives. The celebrity team, which exhibits stronger friendship, has a better chance of winning."

If all goes well, Abhishek Bachchan will participate on the show. The actor is in talks with the channel but is yet to confirm dates. Even filmmaker and host Sajid Khan has been signed on. Our source informs, "It's a long-running show and we need to have a bank of episodes before we go on air.

Urvashi Dholakia

We are talking to a few popular actors and directors from Bollywood. Abhishek has found the concept interesting but we're yet to finalise the details." As far as the television pack is concerned, Urvashi Dholakia, Shweta Tiwari, Ronit Roy, Shabbir Ahluwalia, and Hussain Kuwajerwala have given their assent to the show.

Anupama Mandloi, content head, Star India, says, "There's nothing that I can tell you right now. We are still figuring things out."
