Extreme Dhamaka will air every Wednesday at 9 pm with
repeats on Thursday at 1 pm and Sunday at 9 am and 8
pm.
As reported earlier by Indiantelevision.com this show is an extended
version of the reality themed Who Dares Wins.
Extreme Dhamaka had toured six cities and the 13- episode
programme will showcase highlights from each venue.
Addressing a media briefing earlier this evening the broadcaster's
marketing vice-president Gregory Ho said, "This has been a
big investment for us. With the same amount of money we could have
bought two to three quality series from the US and aired it. We,
however, felt that the effort taken was worth it and the show is
way of
saying a big thank you to our viewers."
Ho said, "We finished principal photography six weeks ago
and so it has been a hectic time for us. What was unique is that
everything from conceptualisation to post production
was done here. Our immense confidence in the Indian
industry has been justified."
The show will be hosted by the hosts of Who dares Wins
Mike Whitney and Tania Zaetta along with the winners
of AXN's Hot 'n' Wild Deepica Sarma and Salil
Acharya.
Sarma said, " Our job looks glamorous but on the surface of
it was 15 hours of daily hard work. The result was that I came out
feeling real. This is not a fantasy and we are not selling dreams.
These are real people. The road response especially in Chandigarh
was fantastic."
One of the highlights was a main dare performed in Mumbai at midnight.
Apparently, it had rained that day and so putting together a stunt
involving fire was made all the more difficult. This involved a
man riding a motorcycle through a burning bus. The show also examines
the various security measures that are put into place like the protective
padding.
