New Delhi: One of the longest running singing reality show on Indian TV Sa Re Ga Ma Pa returns with a new season and will see the triumvirate of Himesh Reshammiya, Vishal Dadlani and Shankar Mahadevan judging the show.
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is back with an all new season as it ropes in Shankar Mahadevan as the third judge who will be joining Himesh Reshammiya and Vishal Dadlani on the iconic show.
Shankar Mahadevan who was earlier associated with the show as a mentor is excited to join the show as a judge.
He said “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has been a global platform for singing talent across the universe and I am very excited to be a part of this show. It was the first show where I had come as a mentor and returning again this year as the judge only gives me immense pleasure and excitement. As music composers, we are always looking out for new talent and are in search of fresh voices to feature as a part of our songs and our films. In my career, I have used at least 30 singers from reality shows to sing for films and they have become immensely successful. So, I believe that meeting new talent is the biggest opportunity for a composer and it’s a great feeling to be able to enjoy and groom their them further. My only advice to all the young musicians would be to create your own niche in singing while using aspects from the maestros because I will be looking for a person who is not only a singer but also a contributor to the song.”
Adding further on sharing the judge’s throne with Himesh and Vishal, Shankar Mahadevan said, “I have judged a show with Himesh in the year 2009 and after more than a decade, we are coming back together to judge this show. He is always full of energy and gets completely involved in the show, so I think it’s going to be amazing working with him. Vishal is a dear buddy and co-musician and while we have sung for each other on many occasions, this would be the first time that we are coming together as judges in a reality show. He has a great sense of humour and I am really looking forward to sharing many funny and musical moments with him.”
Online auditions of the show are on across the country and potential candidates must get themselves registered to grab the chance of a lifetime.
