Entertainment channel Colors is all set to launch yet another reality show very soon, after showcasing very popular reality shows like Big Boss, Fear Factor and the now running India’s Got Talent which is the Indian version of the the original ‘Got Talent’ which has become a successful concept across the world.

This time Colors is planning to cash in on the popularity of wrestling which is the next popular sport after cricket in India! The show named 100% Lucha is a takeoff on a successful Argentinian show of the same name.

100% Lucha started by ex-wrestler Ruben Peucelle originally premiered in Argentina on 1 January, 2006, as a bi-yearly kids entertainment show. But after successfully mopping up ratings, the show started adapting many elements from WWE to widen the target audience.

For the Indian version, Colors is trying to rope in World Wrestling Entertainment’s Indian superstar The Great Khali (Dalip Singh Rana) for this show. The shoot for his show will take place in South Africa. Local South African wrestlers too will be part of the show. The wrestlers finalised are Kilimanjaro, Nightmare, Skull Fury, Exterminator. Jason Steele, Tornado and Ananzi. These are unheralded names to Indian TV audiences who are usually glued to action only from WWE. These men are part of South Africa’s World Wrestling Professionals (WWP).

Hip hop queen Hard Kaur will be hosting the event. Hard Kaur has said that she is a big fan of the Great Khali and believes that the producers might have found her tough profile suitable for the show. She further added that the show dates and other things would be worked out soon.

Colors programming head Ashvini’s Yardi says, “A fusion concept where drama meets reality, muscle power meets willpower, anger meets angst, confidence meets forced composure, force meets fear and fate meets about-face. It’s one show where you’ll be forced to take sides – you want be with the ‘icons’ or do you want to support the ‘I-cans.”
