Ajay Devgn to Host ‘Gumrah 3’ on Channel V

23 August 2013

Actor Ajay Devgn is all set to host youth show “Gumrah 3” as part of a promotional strategy for his upcoming release “Satyagraha.”

Devgn, 44, will be joined by the show’s original anchor Karan Kundra on the Aug. 25 episode of the Channel V show.

“He (Ajay) is very down-to-earth and never makes you feel that he’s a superstar. The experience was really nice and I had an amazing time shooting with him,” said Kundra.

Television has always been a desired platform for Bollywood to connect with its audience, and the “Singham” star is also leaving no stone unturned to promote Prakash Jha’s socio-political drama.

“Satyagraha” is a multi-starrer project featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee, Kareena Kapoor and Amrita Rao.

The film is set to hit theaters Aug. 30.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”

Prem Kamath, channel head, Channel V, adds, "Participation has gone up by almost 100 per cent. We have had 500-600 participants earlier, this year we had about 1000 participants in each zonal."
