After a talent scout across the nation, Hero Honda Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs has selected its top 18 contestants who are all geared up to enthrall viewers with their mellifluous singing.
This season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs will be high on the cool quotient. Right from the cool attitude of the judges and the anchors to the cool equation between the Guru's and the Shishya's to the overall flow of the show and hence the tagline, Music Ka Gurucool.
The judges are a cool triple treat of credibility, chemistry and talent. The show that has been a rage amongst music lovers not only in India but around the globe will be judged by none other than three cool Guru's – the accomplished singer and concert pianist, Adnan Sami, the voice that touches souls and evokes undiscovered adrenaline, Kailash Kher and popular Bollywood playback singer, Javed Ali.
Alka Yagnik will be the Mahaguru and these musical geniuses will be guiding the young singers to showcase their prowess with the seven notes of music and bring the nation's best singing talent to the fore.
Adnan, Kailash and Javed are well versed in the technicalities of music and their portfolios speak volumes about their work.
While Adnan is very emotional about his music, Javed is pretty authoritarian in nature when it comes to picking the right ‘sur' and ‘taal'. Kailash says that he has come here to learn from the kids and not teach them.
Alka Yagnik as Mahaguru, whose career as a playback singer is unparalleled, will be instrumental in deciding the eliminations every week.
Non-Fiction Head of Zee TV, Ashish Golwalkar says, "As always, we have tried and brought in innovations in the format to make the show a complete entertainment package while presenting some amazing singing talent."
To be aired every Friday and Saturday at an all new time of 10 pm, Li'l Champs will be a 13 week series.
Popular actor and heartthrob of millions of girls, Jay Soni has been roped in anchor the show along with kiddie hosts of last season, Afsha Musani and Dhairya Sonecha.
