STARTING APRIL 11, on Fridays and Saturdays, at 10pm, Star Plus is coming up with ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar’- a platform that identifies the most popular small screen musical reality idol between the ‘Champions’ (winners) and ‘Challengers’ (runner-ups) of the popular musical reality shows such as ‘Amul Star Voice of India’, ‘Indian Idol’, ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’, ‘Fame Gurukul’ etc.

 

The jury of the show boasts of some prominent names like ace choreographer and Bollywood director; Farah Khan and music director duo; Vishal-Shekhar. And lifting the spirits on the sets, apart from adding a dash of glamour, is the host Mandira Bedi. The show is produced by Endemol, the leading producers of many hit reality shows.

 

Announcing the launch of the show, the general manager and executive vice- president of the STAR India Pvt Ltd, Keertan Adyanthaya, said, “This is akin to the World Cup or the Olympics, winners of talent shows and the most promising talents across channels coming together to give the audience a chance to judge the best. Star Plus has always brought you mind blowing entertainment and this battle of talent promises to be a breathtaking show.”

 

There would be two teams on the show; ‘The Champions’ and ‘The Challengers’. The ‘Champions’ are the title winners of the various singing talent hunt shows such as ‘Indian Idol’, ‘Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’, ‘Star Voice of India’ and ‘Fame Gururkul’. There are six ‘Champions’ on the show. The ‘Challengers’ are the runner-ups or the ones who almost stole the titles from the winners but did not make the cut. There are 12 ‘Challengers’ on the show. The show will first have the ‘Challengers’ battle it out amongst themselves every week to make the cut to the ‘Champions’ side. One ‘Challenger’ joins the ‘Champions’ every week in order to compete alongside them at an equal platform. Based on their performances, the audience and the jury votes will decide who stays on and which one of them will be eliminated the next week.

 

According to Deepak Dhar, country head- Endemol India, “We are very excited to present Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar. As the participants’ reputations and their previous shows’ reputations depend on how much they achieve on this show, we are confident that the ‘Champions’ and the ‘Challengers’ are going to inject high voltage energy into every performance. Audience can expect maximum entertainment from this earth-shattering musical extravaganza!”

 

‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar’ is yet another opportunity for runners-ups to outshine the title winners from their respective shows, as well as the winners of other musical reality shows.
