Fans expressed surprise when Raghu Ram opted out of Roadies 7.0 citing prior commitment. They were utterly shocked when the man, who rejuvenated MTV, switched over to rival Channel [V]. Expectedly, Raghu's tryst with Channel [V] didn't reveal great dividends.

It's widely buzzed that the controversial Raghu will return to MTV with Roadies 8.0.

When contacted, Raghu claimed that the news is incorrect. He also denied that he was producing any show that has Mona Singh and Prahlad Kakkar as judges.

Sources insist that Raghu is more or less certain to host Roadies.8.0. The auditions for the next season are scheduled to begin in September.
