ZEE TV restarts its famous show ‘Antakshari’ again in January. It was the top ranking musical show. The game show, which had been running on the channel since its launch in 1994 was axed in 2005 to make way for shows appealing to a younger audience. Antakshari has a fan following in more than 73 countries and has created singing icons like Sunidhi Chauhan amongst others.

Antakshari is also the longest running TV musical show on Indian television and has been shot internationally too. The new ‘Antakshari’ will be hosted by Sunil Pal, who has been a part of STAR One’s ‘Great Laughter Challenge’. The show will be co-hosted by ZEE TV’s protégé Himani Kapoor who was one of the finalists in ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa -Challenge 2005′. The two stars are hoping to create the same magic that Anu Kapoor once did on the hugely popular programme.
