He’ll be giving the audience deep knowledge about the format along side he will also be boosting the morale of the participants,” says the source. “Hrithik will not be there for all the episodes but when there will be a high point in the episodes Hrithik will make his presence felt. The channel and the production house are still planning on how to develop his role in the show.” Announcing Hrithik’s association with the show, Shailja Kejriwal, EVP Content, NDTV Imagine said, “This is the first time that a channel has associated with a celebrity at this level. Hrithik’s role is very unique – he is not a host, judge or performer.
