“I was completely sold to the concept of ‘Vikta Ka Uttar'”- Riteish Deshmukh
After having a successful stint in Bollywood , actor Riteish Deshmukh made his debut in Marathi films as a producer and actor two years ago. But now, Riteish is making his small screen debut on Star Pravah Marathi channel in the role of a show anchor through a reality Quiz show ‘Vikta Ka Uttar‘. On Monday afternoon Riteish met the media persons in a unique way.
Before addressing the press conference, he actually played a mock show for them, involving all of them in this show. He picked up three of them as players for questioning and the rest of them played the traders, in case the players needed their help. The trader selected for help by the player, had to bargain for a price to offer the correct answer. It was an entertaining show with a difference.
Speaking to the media after this mock show, Riteish Deshmukh admitted that he was more than happy to receive this offer. He also revealed that he had really worked hard to get the right Marathi accent, to present this programme in the capacity of an anchor. “I was completely sold to the concept of this show,” he said. “Till now, we have shot 25 episodes and it was a learning process for me, though script was provided by four talented writers“. Riteish was all praise for Hrishikesh Joshi, writer and actor, who was present on this occasion. “Besides using his writing skills, we also thought of involving him in this show and that’s how, you will find him entering towards the end of every episode in different get ups,” added Riteish.
All in all, this reality show sounds interesting, as participants from different segments in Maharashtra are part of this show, trying their luck to win cash prizes. The show is all set to go on air from 7th October 2016 on Star Pravah channel .
