After Shankar Mahadevan, Zee TV ropes in Anu Malik as judge of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs

Zee TV has introduced its viewers to several homegrown non-fiction formats like Antakshari, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Dance India Dance, and India’s Best Dramebaaz over the last three decades. These properties have not only emerged as immensely popular, talent-based reality TV franchises but they continue to rule the audience’s hearts even today and enjoy a robust following. Having presented talented young kids and Super Moms a mega chance to showcase their dancing talent on DID L’il Masters and DID Super Moms already this year, Zee TV is now all set to give some exceptional young singing prodigies a chance to shine on the biggest stage of them all! In fact, after receiving an overwhelming response to the previous eight seasons, Zee TV is all set to launch the 9th edition of its popular non-fiction property - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs.

We had revealed earlier how Shankar Mahadevan would be judging Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs for the first time ever and now, multiple award-winning music composer Anu Malik has been roped in as a judge as well. While he has been a judge of various reality shows in the past, this will be the first time he will be seen as a judge on Zee TV's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs. 

On judging Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs, Anu Malik mentioned, “I am very excited about judging Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs. In fact, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is a prestigious show for singers as well as music enthusiasts and while I have been following the show, this is the first time I will be a part of it and I am really kicked. It is a new challenge, and I am really happy that the channel has decided to have the tremendously talented Shankar Mahadevan as one of my co-judges on the panel. We will surely help nurture these young kids together. I absolutely feel it’s necessary to groom them at the right time so that they achieve their dreams of becoming a singer with the right guidance. I am looking forward to this new season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs and I cannot wait to experience the talent that the kids will bring in.”

While we all are waiting for the new season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs to kickstart, on-ground auditions have already begun across the country and will soon take place in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Chandigarh, etc.

In the meantime, stay tuned as Zee TV as Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs is all set to premiere soon on the channel!
