Article- Security beef-up for Chhote Ustaad

STAR Plus' Chhote Ustaad has been facing threats from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. The party has been demanding that the channel send back the participants from Pakistan.

STAR Plus hasn't changed the format, as Pakistani kids continue to be part of the show. We have, however, beefed up the security on the show.

Informs our source, "Security has been beefed up, especially after the channel and the production house has received threats from the MNS. The channel doesn't want to take any chances and has hired more security personnels for the safety of the participants. The format will not be changed at any cost."

A source who was present on the sets during the shoot says, "There was a police van which had six policemen who were posted outside the studio and a couple of lady cops were posted inside."

Chhote Ustaad is a unique reality show that features contestants from both India and Pakistan and aims at promoting friendhip between the two nations through the medium of music.

Watch the talented kids of India and Pakistan showcase their talent every Saturday-Sunday at 9 PM on STAR Plus.
