Mumbai, Aug 13 (IANS) With over 40 acts and 200 songs, the 12-hour-long 'Greatest Finale Ever' episode of Indian Idol 12 will have some special guests to celebrate the Independence Day.
From singers like Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Javed Ali, rapper Mika Singh to Bollywood celebs Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, actress Soniya Kapoor and many more will be entertaining the audience with their songs and different acts.
Actor Jay Bhanushali would join the current host Aditya Narayan. Aditya and Jay will be seen indulging in some fun and musical banter with the top six contestants Pawandeep Rajan, Arunita Kanjilal, Mohd Danish, Sayli Kamble, Nihal Tauro and Shanmukha Priya and judges Anu Malik, Himesh Reshammiya and Sonu Kakkar.
Singer Sukhwinder Singh will also be joining one of the top six contestants Mohd Danish and both will be seen giving a power-packed performance on the song 'Chaiyan Chaiyan' and 'Lagan Lagi'. He will also be giving performances on the songs 'Jai Ho', 'Pagdi Sambhal' and 'Dard-e-Disco'.
He shares his excitement and says: "I am very happy for all the contestants who are a part of Indian Idol 12's Greatest Finale Ever. Every singer is fantastic. I love their passion for singing. While one is multi-talented, there are others who are good with classical singing and some like Mohd Danish who sing good qawwali."
On who will be this season's winner, he adds, "The capability of every singer is almost the same. It is very difficult for me to choose one of them as the winner of the Indian Idol."
'Greatest Finale Ever' of Indian Idol – Season 12 will air on August 15 on Sony Entertainment Television.
At 73, Shekhar Kapur is all set to return as the director of a new project. The filmmaker will reunite with "Elizabeth" writer Michael Hirst for a new series titled "Ibis Trilogy", based on novelist Amitav Ghosh's historical fiction trilogy of the same name.
"I work with new directors because big directors don't take me (in their films). That is the truth,a claimed the Bollywood superstar, while interacting with the media at the trailer launch of his upcoming film "Good Newwz".
Kapil Sharma has invited Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani to promote their forthcoming feature ‘Good Newwz’ on the ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’—but with a special request.
Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya has replaced composer Anu Malik as judge on "Indian Idol 11" after the latter withdrew his name from the show in the face of MeToo allegations against him.
