While the ‘Idol’ franchise is currently ruling the television screens in Nepal, there’s another television franchise that is all set to make its debut soon. You have probably seen MTV Roadies, a popular youth-based reality television show, that first aired in 2003 is currently running on its fifteenth season. Well, the official adaptation of the Viacom18’s TV show is coming to Nepal this year as Himalaya Roadies.
The auditions for the game show were conducted in five different cities across Nepal in March. Rapper Aasis Rana aka Laure, actress Deeya Maskey and media personality Raymon Das Shrestha are the judges and mentors on the show. The winner of the show will be taking home the prize money of up to Rs. 2 million and a Bajaj Avenger motorbike.
The very first teaser for the show has just been released and it looks pretty interesting. The 20-second teaser shows a glimpse of group discussion round followed by some clips of a furious Deeya Maskey who is not only just yelling at a contestant but actually chops off his hair as well.
Damn! This looks interesting already. We just hope they release the uncensored episodes online. That would be amazing. Watch the teaser here.
Are you excited?
