Superstar Shah Rukh Khan will once again grace the small screen by
hosting the Indian edition of the globally popular hilarious game show
'WipeOut'.
Starting from early next year on Imagine TV, 'Zor Ka Jhatka' will have
Khan taking 28 TV stars into the world's biggest obstacle course in
Argentina to battle it out.
In this extremely competitive environment, SRK will challenge these
contestants of all ages and varying fitness levels to a series of
hilarious tasks and obstacles like jumping over moving obstacles,
bouncing off big balls and dodging swinging pendulums hurled their way.
At stake would be a prize money worth Rs 1.5 crores, including a mega cash prize of Rs 50 lakhs for the winner of the finale.
And while the contestants sweat it out, the 45-year-old actor, known
for his comic timing, sharp wit and clever dialogues, will provide his
brand of extremely funny, witty and at times even a little nasty
commentary on the proceedings.
"It promises to be a thrilling ride with lots of thrills and spills
and I'm looking forward to being a super funny host-commentator. In
fact my children and I have watched the international version often and
really loved it," Khan said in a statement issued here on Friday.
'Wipeout' is a popular international format game show that has been
aired successfully across 22 countries including USA, UK and Australia.
It will be shot on a one of its kind, massive obstacle course in
Argentina.
"This is an exciting association for me on many levels...coming back
to television, working with Sameer and Imagine once again and most
importantly, because I'm doing something completely different from what
I've done on television before,"
Khan said.
Sameer Nair, CEO of Turner General Entertainment Networks India Pvt
Ltd, said, "the combination of a super star host, bizarrely challenging
obstacles, enthusiastic and competitive contestants and a whole lot of
bloopers will make this show a must watch, night after night."
The contestants on the show include Akashdeep Saigal, Bakhtiyaar Irani,
Claudia Ciesla, Dimpy Mahajan, Gaurav Chopraa, Payal Rohatgi and Raja
Chaudhary.
