Salman, Hrithik and Akshay to clash: challenge SRK

The small screen may be paying richer dividends than the big screen as some of the big Bollywood stars are discovering. As it now seems, the small screen is not so small after all, it is certainly bigger than what we thought and going by the way it is progressing it might just make the big screen look small.

It started in 2000 when Big B made KBC a roaring success. Then there was a quite period until Shahrukh took up the KBC mantle and started a trend of big stars descending to the smal screen. SRK',s KBC was a success, though not as big as the Big B's.

Now, a year after SRK began his second tryst with TV (SRK started his career on TV) almost all the big names of Bollywood are half into TV. Salman Khan is a confirmed entrant with his 10 Ka Dum taking off in style. Offering a prize money that was on offer only once before in a hardly talked about show hosted by Anupam Kher, 10 Ka Dum has managed to grab the attention of TV audiences. Salman Khan's freestyle anchoring is definitely the high point of the show and he may just give SRK' new game show Kya Aap Panchvi Pass Se Tez Hain a run for its money.

Then there are all kinds of news about Hrithik Roshan preparing to do a relatively small part in a reality show. Hritik will reportedly be a lender of moral support and motivation for the participants of a reality shown on NDTV.

Then as we had reported around a couple of months back, there are also plans to get Akshay Kumar to play the host of AXN's Indian version of Fear Factor. And, we have not yet talked about Ajay Devgan being the judge on another talent hunt and we do not yet know who else plans to follow this headlong rush. TV is big.
