It's Akshay Kumar, and nobody else as host within the desi bravery show Fear Factor. One has it from an overly reliable source on the show's parent-channel Colors that the opposite names being bandied about to take over Fear Factor have now been abandoned, and that Colors who contemplated letting other actors slip into Akhay Kumar's place, has decided to attend it out for Akshay.
Says the source from Colors, `The main problem was Mr Akshay Kumar's dates. He's busy together with his films all of 2013. Initially we thought we'd go ahead with another person. However the general opinion is, no person can take Akshay's place in Fear Factor. So we're willing to attend until he gets free in 2014. `
Says the source, `Our band-width for reality shows is filled for the following twelve months. We had two options: will we go ahead with Fear Factor without Akshay in 2013?Or will we look forward to him to do the show in 2014?We decided at the latter option.
Viacom 18 (the parent company for Colors) and Akshay have an overly fruitful relationship. We've teamed up recently for an overly successful film Oh My God and we've Special Chabbis with Akshay arising early next year. We'd rather not interrupt the connection. `
Says a source from Viacom 18, `Both the film are comedies with huge ensemble casts of interesting character actors. We did not want our promotion to overlap with theirs. `
