After the success of other talent hunt reality shows like Indian Idol, Fame Gurukul and Saregamapa, it is not surprising that Sahara too has jumped onto the bandwagon. Indian Idol has a celebrity judges panel of Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam, music director Annu Mallik and choreographer and director Farah Khan.And Sahara brings in Urmila and Shiamak Davar to bring in some glamour to the show, The Superstar. The winner gets 1 crore in cash and an opportunity to act in a Sahara One movie.

So is Urmila Matondkar looking for the next superstar ? Do we not already have so many of them. “It’s not about being another Aamir or Amitabh. These stars are legends. We will judge the contestants for their inherent talent. For the ‘it’ thing that every performer has.” Urmila says. Talent shows like this have brought into light the immense talent India has. In Bollywood, it is very tough to make it if you are not related to anyone from the industry or you are not a beauty queen. And such shows help the not-so-connected talented people to showcase their talent. Some end up with their 15 minutes of fame and some end up being celebrities.

The auditions of Sahara ’s SuperStar are at Ludhiana on August 10-11, Delhi on August 13-14, Kolkata on August 17-18, Bhopal on August 20-21 and Mumbai August 22-23.
