Like many other Bollywood superstars, Akshay Kumar is now set to host a television show. Here's everything you need to know about it.
Bollywood superstars hosting TV reality shows has now become quite common. Following in the footsteps of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, and Karan Johar, Akshay Kumar is also preparing to take on the role of a TV show host. Here are all the details.
Known as Bollywood’s “Khiladi,” Akshay Kumar enjoys massive popularity across the world. He has entertained audiences for years with his films, and now he is all set to host a globally popular reality show that is watched in nearly 60 countries.
Sony Entertainment Television recently made a major announcement through its official X (formerly Twitter) handle. Following this announcement, excitement among Akshay Kumar’s fans has noticeably increased.
Wheel of Fortune is coming to India Sony TV shared a post on its X handle announcing that Sony Entertainment Television is bringing the globally popular reality game show Wheel of Fortune to Indian television and OTT platforms, with Akshay Kumar appearing as the host.
Wheel of Fortune is a long-running game show that first aired in 1975. It is now set to be launched on Indian television, where Akshay Kumar will ask questions to the contestants. The host will then spin a wheel, and wherever the wheel stops, that amount becomes the player’s winning prize.
Popular in nearly 60 countries, the show allows players to choose questions based on different categories. A puzzle related to the selected question then appears on the screen, which the players must solve to win prize money. This is broadly the format that Akshay Kumar’s Wheel of Fortune will follow.
It is worth noting that Wheel of Fortune is quite different from Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati. While KBC is largely based on general knowledge, Wheel of Fortune relies on puzzles along with an element of luck.
The promo for Akshay Kumar’s latest show has not been released yet. The makers have only shared the poster announcing Wheel of Fortune. According to reports, the show is expected to air after Amitabh Bachchan’s quiz-based reality show.
