Mumbai, Dec 10: A new singing talent hunt show is in the pipeline. Titled ‘K for Kishore’, the show aims at seeking the new-age Kishore Kumar.

Confirming the news, Albert Almeida, EVP and business head, Sony Television, says, “The show is about keeping the magic of Kishore Kumar alive. The show would be telecast across 20 weeks in which several singers who are Kishore Kumar fans and sing like him will be tested.

We are auditioning singers across the country. The one who gets closest to the legend will be the winner.”  Music director Bappi Lahiri and singer Sudesh Bhonsle will be the judges. The show will be hosted by playback singer Babul Supriyo.

Bappi says, “I chose to be a part of this show because of my long association with Kishore. I am the only music director after R D Burman and S D Burman to be an associate composer with Kishore.

He is a great singer and a great performer. I have learnt the art of performing from him. In fact, Kishore’s last live performance was with me at the Filmfare awards where we performed live with 100 musicians. I can claim to know Kishore more than anyone else after his son Amit.”     

Sony has already started its promos and online teasers for the show. ‘K for Kishore’ will be an addition to the other reality shows on singing like  ‘Jjhoom India’ (Sahara One), ‘Mission Ustaad’ (9X) Bathroom Singer (Sahara One), ‘Say Shaava Shaava’, ‘Dhoom Macha De’ (NDTV Imagine).
