Zee5 Tamil has launched the first look of the new adventure reality show Survivor. The Tamil version of the highly successful international show by the same name, is touted to be the biggest competition to the Kamal Haasan hosted reality show Bigg Boss. This show is expected to be a treat for adventure lovers for sure.
The format will remain similar to that of the original show, where 16 contestants will have to stay on a tropical, uninhabited island where they would be provided with minimal resources. The show will be shot in a foreign location for 90-100 days, with the contestants having to perform tasks allotted to them, similar to the Bigg Boss show inside a house. Although, given the nature of the show, these tasks will test them mentally and physically, and decide the winner based on elimination.
Action King Arjun is all set to host the show and an announcement should be made very soon by the team. It was reported earlier that actors Sivakarthikeyan and Simbu had been approached to host the show, but finally the makers have chosen Arjun, who seems a perfect fit with his action-adventure image. The actor is also known for maintaining his fit physique, all through his career of almost four decades.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Arjun is gearing up for his upcoming movie Friendship. The movie also marks the debut of former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who will be sharing screen space with Losliya. Besides this, he also has Medhavi with Jiiva and the Priyadarshan movie Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea.
Survivor is the US version of the Swedish series, Expedition Robinson. It aired in 1997 and was conceptualized and created by Charlie Parsons. Survivor has successfully aired for 40 seasons until now. Different versions of the show have been made in over 20 countries under different names. The Indian edition of the show launched in 2012 as ‘Survivor India’ was hosted by Sameer Kochhar. The first and only season named ‘Survivor India: Caramoan Islands’ was shot in the Caramoan Islands in the Philippines, with Raj Rani emerging as the winner of the show.
