Khanna aka Shaktimaan is tired of
the same old easy format games show. In
which you can answer a few questions and
earn big bucks. Where is the test of skill?
hence he is thinking in terms of launching
a real talent show for children between
the ages of 4-14(different age bracket will
be used), titled Kaun Banega junior Shaktimaan,
which will truly evaluate both the physical
and mental prowess of the participating
kids.
We will audition kids from all over the
country and then divide them into zonal
rounds with the finals being aired on TV.
Talks are on with a number of channels for
the same. Earlier Shaktmaan was aired
on DD but this time, I will be happy, if
we can reach a deal with a satellite channel
since their budgets are huge. I will be
able to erect bigger sets and work out more
ambitious games, which should make the show
a huge success.
Through this show, I wish to tell my young
friends that physical activity is very important;
hence they should go out and play sports,
rather then just sitting in front of the
idiot box or computer. Besides, we will
also try to inculcate positive values such
as brotherhood, nationalism, equality and
tolerance which is the need of the hour.
Continuing with Shaktimaan social
service campaign, I will keep targeting
tobacco usage among kids.
The lucky winner will get a chance to act
in the second season of Shaktimaan,
which is in the conception stage. Currently
this first Indian super hero is on as re-
runs on Pogo and its success will surely
help me to garner support for Kaun Banega
junior Shaktimaan".
