one of the best speakers in Bollywood, was
invited to the American version of TED Talks.
The show, which not only focused on
spreading knowledge but also believes in
motivating the audience, made its debut in
India last year. With Shah Rukh Khan
hosting it, now TED Talks India is all set to
get it's season 2. And reports have it that it
will go on air in December.
There have been many rumours of TED
Talks season 2 since the past few months.
While the TRPs of the show were
considered to be an issue last year, we hear
that the show received good reviews last
year from critics. Considering that the show
brings forth issues, talks about social issues
and also inspires people in the process, the
makers are keen to go in for the second
season. It is also being said that many
celebrities like A R Rahman who couldn't
make it to the last season will be a part of
this season.
If reports are to be believed, the makers
have already approached Shah Rukh Khan
for season 2 and the superstar is also said
to have given a nod. However, the reports
state that the actor has given the makers
time in November. It seems that TED Talks
won't be shot like last time wherein while it
was shot in September but went on air in
December. This time around it will be shot
only a month in advance.
The first season featured seven episodes
whereas the second season will have about
eight to ten episodes. The first season
featured some prominent celebrities from
the Bollywood industry like Karan Johar,
Ekta Kapoor, Javed Akhtar amongst others.
Although it is being said that the said
season will go on air in December, the dates
are yet to be locked. Shah Rukh Khan, then,
will also be busy with the release of Aanand
L. Rai's film Zero which stars Anushka
Sharma, Katrina Kaif amongst others. The
film is expected to release in the first week
of December.
