‘The 50’ Format
Explaining the concept of the show, Alok Jain from JioCinema told India Today, “The concept of The 50 is that we will bring together 50 celebrity contestants in one place and they will have to perform some very entertaining tasks. There will be eliminations, and after some time, over approximately 50 episodes, we will have a winner.” Unlike traditional reality formats, contestants will reportedly live in a castle-style setup in Mumbai. The show will not follow a predictable weekly elimination model, adding an element of unpredictability to the competition. The game will focus on strategy, alliances and audience engagement. ‘The 50’: Yuzvendra Chahal Denies Joining Reality Show, Says Reports About Reunion With Ex-Wife Dhanashree Verma False.
