Sur-Kshetra will start on 8 Sept, 2012, SAT-SUN at 7:30 PM. Sur Kshetra,
the most awaited reality music show will be anchored by Bollywood actor
Ayesha Takia and will also have musical stalwarts like Ghulam Ali,
Hadiqa Kiani and Sajjad Ali from Pakistan, and Suresh Wadkar, Ismail
Darbar, Alka Yagnik and Sapna Mukherjee from India.
A week ago, the deal between the Indian rival channels was sealed and
announced. Initially, there were suggestions that the show would air on
the Star network. However, that didn’t work out.
For the first time, an Indian reality show auditioned for talent in
three cities in Pakistan — Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, shortlisting
10 contestants. They will compete against 10 singers scouted from Indian
cities like Lucknow, Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi. The show is likely to
go on air sometime in September-October this year.
Sur Kshetra features singer-actor-composer Himesh Reshammiya as the
captain of the Indian side and Pakistani pop star Atif Aslam as the
captain of the Pakistani team. Singers Asha Bhosle and Abida Parveen
will be part of the judging panel, along with veterans like Ghulam Ali,
who will judge one of the episodes. Actor Ayesha Takia Azmi, who
vanished from the public eye after Wanted (2008), resurfaces as the
show’s host.
The show was shot in Dubai to avoid complications between nations
that have always been somewhat antagonistic to each other. According to
sources, the finale is the only episode left to be shot. Apparently, it
will be filmed in London after the show goes on air.
Boney Kapoor, who was instrumental in getting the show together for
Sahara One, says, “There is a deal in place with Geo TV to air the show
in Pakistan. This show is going to start today date(8 Sept 2012), but it will be aired in India
and Pakistan.”
