MUMBAI:
The sequel is coming. Season II of Fear Factor - Khatron
Ke Khiladi is slated to set the TV's daredevil fans afire
come February. There's going to be the usual fare: gorgeous
beauties, dangerous stunts, and what have you. But KKK season
II is coming back with a bigger bang on Colors.
While,
Chandni Chowk to China may have put a blotch on Akshay
Kumar's so called winning streak, the channel however says
that it is betting once again on Bollywood's stud to host
the show. And why not - Akki's image fits the KKK brand; after
all stunts and he go hand in hand.
 The
bigger bang this time is coming in the form of Akki's role,
bigger celebs and viewer participation. Accompanying the celebrity
participants in the 'devil may care' acts will be the viewers;
and their selection will happen through auditions that will
be held all over the country later this year.
Speaking
about season II of KKK, Colors programming head Ashvini
Yardi says, "Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi Level
2 is going to be a notch higher than the last season in
terms of bigger celebrity participants, the difficulty level
of challenges and even Akshay Kumar! The inclusion of the
common man as a co-contender will definitely create a lot
of excitement. This time around, the show plans to pack in
a bigger punch to make sure everyone joins in on the excitement.
Also, Akshay will be playing a much bigger role than just
of a mentor and a host - something definitely to watch out
for!"
Adds
KKK Level II producer Endemol India managing director Deepak
Dhar, "Expect complete fireworks this season because
we've raised the bar across the board. Khatron Ke Khiladi
Level 2 is a double dose of everything from action to
stunts and from the contestants to Khiladi Kumar himself.
Apart from all the action on screen, a few lucky viewers will
get to experience the exhilaration of the show first-hand."
The
auditions will be held nationwide with Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata,
Lucknow and Ahmedabad being among the cities being covered.
Colors will be revealing the names of the celebrity participants
on the show in a formal announcement in time.
Fear
Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi debuted in July 2008 as one of
the first shows on the then newly launched channel Colors.
After tasting early success, the show soon built a strong
following of regular adventure fanatics who enjoyed the extreme
stunts featured on the show. The show's biggest strength apart
form the celeb factor was the fact that all the stunts featured
on the show were real which made it precariously exciting.
Will
that excitement continue in season II!!! The Colors management
obviously believes it will.
