A diverse range of celebrities including seasoned actor Rohit Bose Roy, Bollywood’s Daisy Shah, ‘Bigg Boss 16’ alumni Shiv Thakare and Archana Gautam, beloved TV stars, a rapper, singer-songwriter, and a Moroccan model will confront their fears in this year’s show.
Shetty appreciates the ensemble, praising their rawness and freshness. He highlights how their individual traits and real personalities enrich the show, making it more engaging.
Despite years of experience with daring tasks, Shetty discloses that he himself doesn’t harbor any fears and asserts that a significant portion of the stunts this season are novel.
Finally, he distinguishes between the different challenges of directing an action film and hosting a stunt-based reality show, despite the same energy level required. He shares the show’s logistical complexities, due to it being location-based rather than studio-based.
