Cyrus, Sajid to pick
Champion Chaalbaaz No.1


33 naughty guys from across India are all set to participate in a new fun-filled show called 'Champion Chaalbaaz No.1.' What more, they'll be judged by the legendary pranksters Cyrus Broacha and Sajid Khan themselves. This one hour weekly goes on air from 22 nd December at 10.pm on Sony Entertainment Television.

Champion Chaalbaaz is a simple reality-based comedy format show where contestants pull out the most audacious pranks. In each episode, three contestants will play three different pranks followed by the three of them pulling off combined pranks. These contestants will be judged by a live studio audience and the judges, Cyrus and Sajid, who will judge them on their skill and finally crown India's biggest Champion Chaalbaaz No.1. Every episode will also feature a celebrity prank.

Sony Entertainment Television Business Head Albert Almeida says, "Champion.. is the hunt for a prankster who definitely can't match up to Sajid and Cyrus, but he/she should come close to them. Apart from contestants picking their prank victim, the viewers will also have the opportunity to pick on an individual on whom they would like the prank to be played. This show is the Indian version of the international format Prankstar from Endemol."

Cyrus Broacha says jokingly, "I'm short of cash again and that's why they've I've joined this show. Actually, I had expressed a desire to be a part of Sony's other new show K for Kishore, as I'm also a Kishore Kumar fan. But unfortunately the channel put me here."

It's for the first time that Sajid and Cyrus will be seen together as judges. Sajid Khan says, "My mother was always keen on me working with Cyrus. Her wishes have finally come true. On a serious note, I chose to be part of this show as the concept is really unique."

Pranks or no pranks, one thing is sure, with Sajid and Cyrus around, there certainly will be no dull moment on the show.
