Star Plus’ well sought after and highly anticipated show called ‘Master Chef’ is supposed to launch in the month of October. The show’s auditions have already started and the channel is all ready to launch the show at a particular prime time. Rajiv Laxman of MTV Roadies fame is the primary creative head behind the show.

According to a reliable source, who is a part of the show, says that it’s supposed to start in October. Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has been energetically involved in the making of the show. The first dish that the contestants will be asked to make is the ‘Khiladi Sizzler’ keeping in mind, the true ‘Khiladi’ from Bollywood, Akshay Kumar.

When Ajit Andhare, of Coloseum Pvt Ltd, the producer was contacted he said that the format is brand new because a reality show
solely based on food has never ever been attempted in India. Worldwide, such a concept has garnered a good audience base, but here in India it hasn’t been attempted. The show would definitely be Indianised in order to suit the Indian audiences as well as their food habits.

Here’s hoping that this version of the show, captures the culinary imaginations of the masses and becomes a hit!
