The Golmaal director would take the reigns of hosting the Indian version of Fear Factor from Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty, who will host the 5th season of action- adventure show Khatron Ke Khiladi, says the new season promises an amalgamation of stunts and entertainment. ”When action and comedy come together, it creates amazing entertainment. This show also has everything that will entertain you. I was convinced because of the different format as it has a lot of stunts and entertainment,” the 40-year-old said at the unveiling of the contestants.
Does Rohit Shetty like hosting more than directing?
The new season features 12 contestants including Bollywood actors Ranvir Shorey, Rajneesh Duggal, Nikitin Dheer, choreographer-actor Salman Yusuff Khan and Mugdha Godse. TV actor Dayanand Shetty, popularly known as Daya of CID, Mahhi Vij, Pooja Gaur are the names from the TV industry, besides Kushal Tandon and Gauhar Khan.
Stunt woman Geeta Tandon and Femina Miss India International Rochelle Maria Rao will also compete in the show, that will be shot in Cape Town, South Africa, this time.
