A birdie chirps to say that Riteish Deshmukh is likely to replace Sonali Bendre as judge in a new season of a talent reality show

Sonali along with Kirron Kher and Dharmendra was part of the jury in the last season.

Now that Riteish's wife Genelia is also back on TV as mentor in a show about grooming, Riteish, too, seems to have been bitten by the telly bug.

Though there is nothing official about it, talks are on with the actor. Shekhar Kapur has also been judge of an earlier season.
