Sources say that a huge music reality show is being planned by a leading channel, which doesn’t have a singing show in its programming fare. Titled Meri Awaaz Suno, the show will be a talent hunt. It will have four judges on the panel and so far, two — Kanika Kapoor and Badshah — have been finalised. Negotiations are on with ace director Karan Johar. The source says, “The deal was finalised last Saturday and the show is likely to go on air two months later, mostly after Ganapati celebrations.”

When contacted, Badshah who is currently riding a wave of popularity with songs like Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui (Khoobsurat) Ladki Beautiful (Kapoor & Sons) confirmed that he is one of the judges. “I am judging the show and it is connected to talent. We are yet to figure out when it will be launched, but it should be in the next month.”

Kanika, known for her songs like Baby Doll (Ragini MMS 2) and Chittiyan Kalayian (Roy) had appeared on a special episode of last season’s Voice India as a mentor, but this will be the first time she will be judging a show. Even Badshah will make his TV debut as a judge.
