New Delhi, Nov 28 (IANS): Actor Nandish Sandhu will be entering stunt-based reality TV show “Khatron Ke Khiladi - Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns” as a wildcard entry.

"I am entering 'Khatron...' for its challenging tasks and I have been a big fan of the international 'Fear Factor' since my younger days," Nandish told IANS before heading to Cape Town, where the show is being shot.

The show throws up challenges to celebrity contestants and encourages them to face their fears. It is currently being shot in Cape Town, South Africa. “Chennai Express” fame filmmaker Rohit Shetty has returned as a host for the eighth season, which is slated to go on air on Colors in January next year.

The actor, who is famous for his roles in “Uttaran” and “Beintehaa”, will fly to South Africa soon.

Nandish's entry in the show is expected to grab eyeballs as his wife and actress Rashami Desai is also a part of the show.

There are reports suggesting a rift between the couple. However, the actor has stayed tight-lipped about the issue.
