Shehbaaz Badesha, Dhanashree Verma to Compete in JioHotstar-Colors TV
The earlier-than-expected conclusion of Bigg Boss 19 in December meant that reality TV show enthusiasts were eagerly waiting for the next big thing to take over the TV screens. Looks like Colors TV, along with JioHotstar, is all set to fill this gap with a new reality show to be called The 50. The recently released promo of this show has already created a huge buzz on social media platforms.
Referred to as an unconventional reality TV series, The 50 promises to do away with the traditional format offered by other similar shows. As the name suggests, all 50 contestants will live together in the huge Mahal. What really sets this one apart is the lack of a traditional rulebook, and that includes the lack of defined missions, eliminations, and gameplay. These are replaced by chaos, strategies and survival instincts.
Speculations about the contestants who will take part in the reality show also increased the gossip in the series. Celebrities, including social influencer Shehbaaz Badesha, choreographer and dancer Dhanashree Verma, are said to be in talks to appear in the reality show. Despite the reality show producers not confirming the announcement, the possibility of these people appearing on the show has already impressed viewers who want to watch their performances without rules.
The promotion has the feeling of a psychological/sociological experiment, unlike a pure competition. The coming together of 50 highly flamboyant personalities will mean dynamic changes in the power structure that will keep the audience engaged. The mega set, visual effects and mystery in the promo indicate an extraordinary experience for both TV and OTT viewers.
It’s obvious that they want a huge following by bringing ‘The 50’ to both Colors TV and JioHotstar. If reports are to be believed, this show could bring a new twist to reality TV shows in India. Until then, everyone is eagerly waiting for the contestants to be announced and the upcoming launch dates.
