'Khulja SimSim'on
StarPlus
Khulja Sim Sim, which went off air in October last year, is soon going to be back in a new avtaar on Star Plus. And this time round, it will be Hussain (of Kumkum fame) who will be saying the magic words as the new host for the show.
Confirming the same, Star India vice president content and communications Deepak Segal said that the new version will hit the television screens "sometime in October." And what's more, BAG Films have now been bestowed with the production of the show since Optymistix (the production house which earlier produced the show) was "busy doing other things," says Segal.
The basic format is pretty set but there will be a lot of innovations and value additions to the show including a new logo.
Talking about the same, BAG Films chairman and managing director Anurradha Prasad said, "There will be value adds in terms of the new sets, new rounds and many other innovations because every show has it's life and then a need is felt to re-invent it. But at the end of the day we have to remember that it is a format show and that we have to prescribe to the basic format. We are looking at relaunching the show sometime in October - November, which is the festive season."
