And the Cash Prize is also Bigger..the amount is now Rs 10 LAKHS for the WINNER !!!
ROADIES GETS BIGGER N TOUGHER !!!!
On the sixth season of the dramatic adventure reality show Raghu’s identical twin Rajeev Laxman will join him to create even more hell for the contestants. “Every year we take the show to another level. This time we have upped the stakes even further,” smiles Raghu, the irreverent boss of the Roadies, and Associate VP, MTV shows. With the number of roadies increased to 20 and the prize money doubled to Rs 10 lakhs, contestants are in for hell Down Under with difficult tasks on the deadly terrains of Austalia and biting observations and sheer wrath from the Raghu-Rajeev duo.
Rajeev— who has been part of the casting process of the Roadies for the last four years— agreed to even turn bald for the show on Raghu’s insistence. Hard to tell the two apart, Rajeev will now be introduced to the viewers for the first time. “Roadies is not just about the money. It’s a badge that makes people discover a side to them that they didn’t even know of,” adds Rajeev, who appears to be almost as aggressive as his twin. “Actually I’m more violent and Raghu is more aggressive,” smiles Rajeev wickedly. “But we use these characteristics only to push the buttons of the contestants to get their reaction.”
But what really prompted them to bring the twist of the twins? “Over the past years people have started observing my behavioral pattern. So essentially, now with both of us appearing on the show, the contestants will not know who they are dealing with,” adds Raghu with a smile.
Says Ashish Patil, GM MTV, India “No fake judges, no phony contestants, no sham melodrama… nothing but hard core reality on India’s biggest, longest running youth cult series – MTV Hero Honda Roadies: Hell down under! The 6th edition will explode like a hand grenade in your palms as we take the action to Australia with double the twists, so buckle up!”
In order to make it to the show, contenders will have to undergo and pass auditions in any of the six cities – Kolkata (17th September), Bangalore (21st September), Ahmedabad (24th September), Chandigarh (28th September), Delhi (3rd October) and Mumbai (12th October). Put away all your inhibitions and come with a steely attitude as Raghu and Rajiv are going to ensure that you’re not over your head before you go down under! If selected, you’ll be one of the 20 Roadies, who’ll get to burn some rubber in India and in the roughest terrains of the most perilous country in the world - Australia.
Says Raghu Ram, Executive Producer MTV, “Those who think they have figured out Roadies, the auditions or the journey are in for the shock of the lives! Getting selected or surviving the auditions itself is going to be twice as tough with Rajiv”
