Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan seems to be following his father, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, wherever he can. If the grapevine is to be believed, Abhishek is now set to host a new show titled 'Bingo' on entertainment channel Colors.
"Abhishek is doing a show called 'Bingo' with us. It's a very interesting concept but details cannot be given out at this point," a source said.
Though the show's format is still unclear, it is expected to be based on a person's laziness quotient, as indicated by a special website www. Abhishekaaramclasses .com - created to promote it.
The show's teasers, featuring Abhishek in a chilled out mood, are already on air on the channel. According to the teasers, "Abhishek's Aaram Classes" are "opening shortly". However, when contacted Abhishek's spokesperson, she denied the news.
"Abhishek is not doing any TV show. It is just a website with various interactive applications. I recommend everyone to register on the website and test their laziness and look at the various lazy tips," she said.
Asked if there is any TV show being produced by AB Corp Limited featuring Abhishek, his spokesperson said,"AB Corp Ltd is not producing anything for TV at the moment."
Simultaneously, rumours have been rife that 'Bingo' will replace reality show 'Bigg Boss 3', being hosted by Amitabh, after its finale on Dec 26. But the channel's source denied, saying, "'Bigg Boss 3' will be replaced by our two new shows - 'Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam' and 'Laagi Tujhse Lagan', not by 'Bingo'."
Amitabh Bachchan to star on bingo show
Indian megastar Amitabh Bachchan is set to star on a brand new Bingo TV show, hosted by his son Abhishek Bachchan.
The new show, 'National Bingo Night' is set to air on India's Colors channel and host Abhishek Bachchan's first guest will be his father Amitabh, star of hit Bollywood films such as 'Sarkar' and 'Paa'.
The show, which will run for 13 episodes, allows audiences to take part in live TV bingo games from the comfort of their living rooms.
While Amitabh Bachchan's appearance will boost the show's profile considerably, other Bollywood guests lined up to appear include Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar, Vindoo Dara Singh and Pravesh Rana.
Amitabh Bachchan's recent association with the 'Big Boss' series was hugely successful and a repeat of that success could see National Bingo Night become a regular fixture on Colors.
Rumours are also circulating that Abhishek Bachchan's wife Aishwarya Rai could be lined up as a contestant on the show.
