Daler Mehendi, high on the title track of Rang De Basanti, will now be seen as the judge on SAB's first big-ticket reality show, Fame X. The second season of the super successful Fame Gurukul, Fame X will start on November 24 and will be aired on SAB every week from Monday to Friday.
Like last year, Fame X will capture the journey of 14 talented singers vying for a place in a coveted music academy — Fame Academy. Adapted from the successful Spanish reality show Operacion Triunfo, Fame X will look for two new winners to take over from Qazi and Ruprekha.
Speaking about his new role, Daler Mehndi said: "I agreed to be a part of Fame X as I liked the concept of this show. It will be a journey of the 14 contestants and their constant endeavour to excel and become the singing sensation of the nation. I play a key role in their growth as I am their mentor, their critic and above all a guiding force."
Vikas Bahl, senior vice-president and business head of SAB, said: "We are glad to have the nation's biggest singing sensation, who has already made a mark with the Indian youth, as a part of Fame X."
