I Can Do That: Everything about the show

‘I Can Do That’, the Indian adaptation of the American television series of the same name is all set to get released on Zee TV. The reality TV series will be produced by Essel Vision Productions of Subhash Chandra. Like the international version, the desi version of the show will feature celebrities, who will take up challenges and showcase their talents they didn't even know they had.

As this Indian edition of International format is lined up to get launched by the end of September 2015, here, we give you reasons to watch the show!

The concept:

Under the format, 12 popular celebrities from different walks of life will step out of their comfort zones, tread unknown arenas and perform never-seen-before, entertaining acts.

Farhan Akhtar as judge:

The show will be judged by the heartthrob Farhan Akhtar. The Bollywood actor-director will be an integral part of the show and play the role of a friend, confidant and motivator to the contestants. “‘I Can Do That’ is an aspirational show that challenges its participants to dream big, be fearless and think out of the box. These are qualities that I find admirable in people and look forward to an entertaining and viewer engaging show,” Farhan, 41, said in a statement. Earlier, Farhan has hosted a talk show Oye! It's Friday! and judged the first season of Nach Baliye.

Dino Morea to participate in the Indian adaptation of 'I Can Do That' : Dino Morea will be seen as a participant in the Indian version of 'I Can Do That' (ICDT). The actor had participated in 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' in 2010 and of late, there were reports that he might be entering the 'Bigg Boss' house this season. However, Dino refuted all reports about 'Bigg Boss' and said that since he loves adventure, he said yes to 'ICDT'. “I have seen the international version and it had celebs like Nicole Scherzinger as participants. It’s a fun show and if somebody is paying me to have some fun, why will I not accept the offer? I love trying new acts and the best part of this show is that there are no judges,” he says. We also asked Dino about the 'Bigg Boss' reports and he adds, “I don’t know why my name came in the list of contestants for the show. I haven’t even been approached for it. At the moment, I don’t have three months of my life to give to the show. It’s true that a lot of dance shows have been offered to me, but I don’t want to do something that I do in films. I am a very adventurous person and will do something that is up my alley.”

Contestants:

Here are the daring contestants confirmed for the show…

VJ Bani:

VJ Bani has given her nod to participate in the Indian version of 'I Can Do That'. Bani confirmed the news and told us, “I have seen the international format and I was keen to take it up when it was offered to me. Having done shows like 'Roadies' and 'Fear Factor', I am always on the lookout for something that is not regular. With my tattoos, I am anyway not going to fit in the saas-bahu soaps.”

Rithvik Dhanjani:

After participating in a dance reality show, Rithvik Dhanjani went on to hosting them and now he is back to participating in a non-fiction show. However this time around, Rithvik will be back as a contestant with an Indian adaptation of 'I Can Do That'. Rithvik confirms, "This concept in general would be very challenging for any actor and I always believe that such chances you only get once in a life — a chance to learn something new! And so I jumped into this valley of risk!"

Bharti Singh:

As Bharti Singh gears up to be a part of "I Can Do That", the comedienne says that after making her mark in the world of laughter and dance, the TV reality show will bring forward a new side of her, which is making her feel jittery. "I wanted to do a show that was challenging. Since this one will involve a number of tasks I have never attempted before, it will not only be different, but also truly challenging professionally," Bharti said in a statement. "People think of me as a comedian, but I proved myself in a dance reality show. And now, this will be Bharti Singh in a new avatar. I am very scared though," she added.
