Karan Patel Is First Confirmed Contestant for Farah Khan-Hosted Reality Series ‘The 50’

The show introduces a fan-participation model that could share prize money with viewers.

Overview

  • Karan Patel was officially announced as the first participant, saying the game-based format drew him to compete in a month-long, high-intensity setting.
  • Adapted from French series Les Cinquante and produced by Banijay Asia, the Indian version places 50 celebrities in a single palace-style environment.
  • JioHotstar will stream the series and Colors will broadcast it, with filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan established as host.
  • JioHotstar executive Alok Jain described an interactive format where audiences follow and bet on contestants, with potential payouts to fans as eliminations narrow the field.
