Sahara group’s Filmy channel came up with a new concept of survival and launched a new show, Bollywood ka Boss. Conceived by the Synergy Adlabs Media Ltd, Bollywood ka Boss is a completely desi show and not inspired by any foreign show. Bollywood ka Boss has been developed under the supervision of KBC fame ‘Siddhartha Basu’ and it seems that the show is going to be the biggest entertainer of the year 2008.

It revolves completely around Bollywood movies, and the contestants will get a chance to win upto 50 lakh rupees. In every episode 10 Bollywood gurus will compete with each other and at the end of the 33 weeks, one amongst the participants will be declared the winner and conferred with the title of ‘Filmiyon ka Filmy’.

Reality shows have now become a major asset for TV channels to gain TRPs. Few years back when India’s first ever television game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ was launched by Star Plus, it got immense response from viewers. It appealed to all the age groups and the show’s host Amitabh Bachchan also created a new identity for himself.

Siddharth Basu, the pioneer of television quiz shows in India, is back with new show Bollywood Ka Boss, grilling participants with questions related to the Hindi film industry.

The show, being telecast every Sunday on Sahara TV’s movie channel Filmy, is the first of its kind and went on air January 6. Boman Irani, who shot to fame with his role in the hit comedy Munnabhai M.B.B.S in 2003, is the host.
