That's the number of cricketers signed for Priyanka Chopra's TV show Khatron Ke Khiladi months after it was announced. PS: After Modi scandal and Dhoni outburst, things are moving at a snail's pace

Priyanka Chopra's television outing Fear Factor -- Khatron Ke Khiladi is moving at a snail's pace. The third season of the reality show is with Indian and international cricketers as participants. But till date not a single player has been signed.

The reason for the slow movement is due to the turmoil in the country's cricket scenario after the Indian Premier League-Lalit Modi episode.

Couple this with M S Dhoni's recent comment that the extensive travelling and partying has taken a toll on the Indian players.

Says a source close to the channel, "Talks have been on with cricketers. Ever since Priyanka was announced as the show's new host two months ago, negotiations have been on, but no player is on board yet."

16 episodes
The National Award-winning actress is slated to do a start-to-finish shoot in July for the 16 episodes that will go on air in October.

Adds the source, "Several names were to be picked from the various IPL teams. But the happenings towards the end of the tourney threw everything off-gear."

As reported 'PC and Fear Factor take to Brazil', Colors has already done a recce of the areas where the show will be shot. Copacabana in Brazil is one of the spots selected.

Akshay Kumar hosted two seasons of the show which was set in South Africa. With Priyanka, the channel decided to explore another location.

Fear calling
Among the several names that have been approached for Khatron Ke Khiladi include Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Virendra Sehwag, Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee.
