Shah Rukh Khan to be back on small screen

SHAH RUKH KHAN re-joins the gang of film superstars invading the small screen. He last appeared on television as the host of 'Kya Aap Panchvi Paas se Tez Hain'?

Joining the brigade of silver screen superstars including Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Akshay Kumar and many more SRK is not bothered to be compared with anyone.
He will be hosting a show called Zor ka Jhatka, which is based on the format of the AXN show Wipeout. It is a game show featuring various obstacle courses. SRK earlier also appeared as the host of KBC Season 3. The new show, Zor ka Jhatka, goes on the floors in the first week of January. Produced by Endemol India, the show will see SRK taking 28 TV stars outside their comfort zone to Argentina. At stake is prize money worth Rs 15 million, including a cash prize of Rs 5 million for the winner of the finale.

SRK will challenge these contestants to various tasks and obstacles, something similar to another show aired on Pogo channel Takeshi’s Castle.
With all the top stars now aiming towards the small screen, it seems either the silver screen has been saturated of new opportunities or it’s just an easier way to rake in some cash as the shows are bound to grab some eyeballs owing to the host’s popularity.
