Entertainment Ke Liye to start in June; hosts, judges remain same

Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega is gearing up for its third season. Mona Singh and Vishal Malhotra will continue as hosts with judges Farah Khan and Anu Malek. Our source from the show says, “We will begin auditions in various cities from next month. The show is expected to go on floors in June. By end of June, it will be on air. This year, we might have a clash of time with India’s Got Talent, unlike last year.” The earlier two seasons of Entertainment fetched good ratings for Sony. On the other hand IGT’s first season was ended prematurely due to the average response it got. “The second season of IGT is also expected to go on floors in June, the auditions for this show are ending this month. IGT too will have same hosts Nikhil Chinappa and Ayushman Khuranna, and judges Sonali Bendre, Shekhar Kapoor and Kirron Kher.” Meanwhile, Khan will have to multi-task as she is also the grand master in Dance India Dance Little Masters. We texted Khan, to which she replied “Entertainment Ke Liye has not been locked, but it will start, I think, after DID’s over.” Anita Basu, director Big Synergy (makers of IGT) says, “Even in the past, we were clashing with other shows. It is not a big deal. Channels usually have go head in head with rival shows. Last time our two shows Paanchvi Pass and Dus Ka Dum aired at the same time. At the end of the day what matters are TRPs and IGT got better ratings than Entertainment.”
