MUMBAI: Zee TV has been a pioneer and a trend-setter in shaping television content over the past three decades and once again, it seems to be changing the face of music reality shows with its latest non-fiction property, the Indian Pro Music League (IPML). In a clutter-breaking format innovation, Zee TV launched the world’s first-ever music league championship at the end of last month. While the world of sports has seen several league competitions, this unique music league has six teams representing different regions of India, battling it out against each other in a musical championship. Each of these six teams supported by leading Bollywood and sports celebrities has top playback singers as their captains, one reality show star, and one fresh voice. Celebrated singers - Mika Singh, Kailash Kher, Sajid Khan, Shaan, Ankit Tiwari, Javed Ali, Asees Kaur, Bhoomi Trivedi, Akriti Kakar, Payal Dev, Neha Bhasin, Shilpa Rao are captains of these six zonal teams.
Ananya Birla’s team - Bengal Tigers, led by captains such as the immensely popular singer Shaan and the supremely talented Akriti Kakkar includes talent powerhouses like Rituraj Mohanty and the debutant Mismi Bose. The latest addition to the team is popular playback singer Nikhita Gandhi who has been roped in as the team's All-Rounder. It is one of the strongest teams of Indian Pro Music League. While they have already dazzled the audience with their jaw-dropping performances on the show, Shaan, Akriti and Nikhita visited the city of joy, Kolkata to interact with the audience on their home turf and rally for votes.
Team owner, Ananya Birla said, “I have a very deep connection with Kolkata; it’s a second home for us.
