After wooing fans with his cricketing skills and the chartbusting number, “Champion”, Dwayne ‘DJ’ Bravo is all set to conquer the Indian reality show realm with a special stint on Colors’ Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

A source associated with the show tells Mirror, “Bravo will arrive as a challenger to test the contestants’ understanding of music and dance. He is slated to begin rehearsals for the show on his birthday, 7th October. He will be challenging the existing contestants, Shantanu Maheshwari, Siddharth Nigam, Salman Yusuff Khan, Teriya Magar and Swasti Nitya.” The show is judged by Karan Johar, Jacqueline Fernandez and Farah Khan.

Bravo confirmed the news, noting, “Good things always happen to me around my birthday. Four years ago, West Indies won against Sri Lanka and I took the winning catch. This year, I am gifting myself the Jhalak experience. While singing is tough, dancing is another ball-game. But years of cricket have taught me that nothing is impossible and I’m all set to challenge these contestants, trying my best to win the trophy. Now that I am here, my focus is going to be on winning hearts, making some friends and, more importantly, learning some Bollywood moves”.
