Television channels will pull-out all stops to cash in on the success of its shows. For instance, Star One started the second season of Laughter Challenge, after the resounding success of the first. And now, the channel has decided to bring back the popular reality dance show Nach Baliye.
The second season, Nach Baliye Dwitiya, is slated to be on air in mid-September. Nach Baliye Dwitiya will feature new celebrity contestants and maybe new jury members too. The channel is in the process of giving final touches to the show. "We have the names of 25-odd couples of which we've to shortlist 10," says a source.
The channel is being discreet about the show and other details at this point. But some couples who've been confirmed are Manav Gohil and Shweta Kawaatra, Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan, Ram Kapoor and Gautmi Gadgil, Ronit Roy and Neelam and Hiten Paintal and Kishwer Merchant. These couples were considered last time as well, but they couldn't make it to the finals.
The source adds, "The channel is keen on having these couples in their show. Now, the ball is in their court as they are yet to confirm their dates with us. We're still finalising the judges. We might have Malaika Arora Khan, Saroj Khan and Farhaan Akhtar as judges but they are yet to be finalised."
