After the grand success of Khaidi 150 the mega star will be on small screen for the first time on Maa TV in the Telugu version of Kaun Banega Karodpathi.
After Chiranjeevi was roped in for the fourth season of popular game show Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu (MEK), MAA TV earlier took to Twitter to share the first look picture and a 20-second teaser on YouTube. The show will be from 13nth it is reported.
Stay tuned for more #MEKwithMegastar,” the channel posted with the video link. For the first time ever, Chiranjeevi is set to host a quiz TV show (MEK). The popular Telugu TV show is an adaptation of globally acclaimed TV show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. It has been adapted in Hindi as Kaun Banega Crorepati with Amitabh Bachchan as the host.
While ‘King’ Nagarjuna hosted the show successfully for three seasons, the fourth season of the show by MAA television will be taken over by Chiru starting this 12th . The show will be telecasted on MAA TV from Monday to Thursday between 8.30 to 9.30 pm.
MAA TV in 2015 became a part of the Star television network and the chief stakeholders of the original MAA – Nimmagadda Prasad, Chiranjeevi and Akkineni Nagarjuna — have sold their shares. Though the megastar was busy wrapping up the shoot of his 150th comeback movie Khaidi No 150 in the recent times, he took time out of his schedule to host the show.
After a setback in politics, the star is not leaving any stone unturned to cement his hold on Tollywood and tapping his fan-base through television is one such move.While MEK was a great hit for Nagarjuna, it would be a challenge for Chiru to recreate that magic.Earlier MEK was scheduled December for last year but this could be a reality soon.
