Staying true to our promise of providing unlimited variety entertainment, we are elated to announce Khatron Ke Khiladi- Made in India that will feature select contestants from the previous seasons with a desi twist.”

The previous season of Khatron Ke Khiladi surpassed all prior expectations and received immense love from the audience. Be it speedy and thrilling action-packed stunts, adrenaline-fueled underwater escapes, or face-offs with ferocious reptiles, the show stayed true to its promise of Darr Lega Class Dega Trass. With Bollywood and Desiness at its core, the extra dose season will be replete with filmy elements and special zones namely Zulm City, Purani Haveli, Golmaal Zone, Tehkhana, Darwaza-e-Dard, and Villain Ka Adda.

Apart from performing some daredevil stunt, the contestants will also be seen reveling in fun antics with a zing of Desi Tadka and Bollywood flavour.

Manisha Sharma, Chief Content Officer, Hindi Mass Entertainment, Viacom18, said, “Khatron Ke Khiladi has always been shot in various countries abroad. However, for the first time, we will be shooting the special edition in India on a grand scale with the Indian crew. As the action continues, the show this time will be complete desi. In the new edition, we will introduce interesting elements, Bollywood flavor, and an eclectic mix of former contestants that will make this edition even more thrilling. It is going to be a double fun with Farah Khan bringing her expertise to fore while hosting the curtain-raiser episodes when Rohit Shetty will be away in Hyderabad and will return to helm the season.”

Farah Khan said, “I have done almost all reality shows in the country, but I never thought I would do Khatron Ke Khiladi. I am thankful to Rohit Shetty for recommending me as he will be away for the first weekend. I am excited to be a part of the show as my father used to make stunt films and I have action in my films too. However, unlike Rohit, I am not daring enough to do my own stunts. But I am looking forward to having a great time and encouraging the contestants to face their phobias.”
