MUMBAI: MTV Roadies is one of the longest-running and most viewed reality shows. This youth show has an immense fan following, and many dream about becoming a Roadie.
However, being a Roadie is not a piece of cake. Right from the group interviews to personal interview rounds, it takes a lot to be on the journey of being a Roadie and win the title. This year, the concept has been changed. The life of the show, Ranvijay will not be part of the show. The actor will be replaced by Sonu Soon.
There is news doing the rounds that twin brothers Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman will be coming back on the show. The two were associated with Roadies for a long time and then left for unknown reasons. Recently, Nikhil Chinapa opened up about not being a part of the show. He is disappointed that he won’t be a part of the show this time and hoped that someone would rope him for spin-off as it is trend these days.
Nikhil was quoted by Times Of India as saying, “I am disappointed that I won’t be a part of Roadies now. They have changed the format, so none of my colleagues will be part of it either. We used to look forward to the show every year and it would be great fun. I started off as someone who selected the contestants, then as a gangleader, and I was also actively a part of the selection process for many years. It used to be challenging journey, interacting with the crew and we contributed to the making of the show.” He further added, “Guess, the channel wants to change the format and bring in a fresh perspective. I am hoping that someone will rope the four of us – Neha Dhupia, Rannvijay Singha, Prince Narula and myself and do a spin-off of the show, because spin offs are the flavour of the month on various platforms.”
