Star Plus gears up to launch new singing reality show Taare Zameen Par

Singing reality shows have always caught the fancy of audiences. Over the years, Indian television has aired a number of successful singing reality shows season after season. Some contestants from these shows even went on to establish themselves as popular playback singers in Bollywood, including Shreya Ghoshal, Monali Thakur, Arijit Singh, and Neha Kakkar.

According to reports, a new show is set to get added to the list of singing reality shows on Indian television. Reportedly, Star Plus is gearing up to launch its new singing reality show titled Taare Zameen Par.


The forthcoming show will provide a platform for kids to showcase their singing talent to the world. But the main question that may cross your mind is: how is Taare Zameen Par going to be different from other kids singing reality shows on television?

Well, we hear that there will be no stress of elimination on Taare Zameen Par. The show will not have judges but mentors who will train and groom the kids coming from different parts of India.

If reports are to be believed, the makers have already signed well-known singing personalities Shankar Mahadevan, Tony Kakkar, and Jonita Gandhi to join the show as mentors. Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala fame Aakriti Sharma and popular comedian Sugandha Mishra have been roped in to host the show.

The makers were looking at launching Taare Zameen Par much before. However, the Coronavirus pandemic played spoilsports and it got postponed. After waiting for months, the team has now decided to go ahead with the launch. We hear that the show is now expected to launch in the first week of November.

An official announcement is awaited though.
