Akshay returns to the small screens

'Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi' is back with its level 2 which promises to be bigger, better, and meaner than ever with surprises galore and the original Khiladi himself, Akshay Kumar as the host.

'Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2' that begins on COLORS later this year has every intention of taking you on a roller coaster ride of extreme stunts, galloping emotions and never before seen action on Indian television. This time, the show is looking for you, the viewers, who have it in them to accompany Akshay and his sultry sena on this mind-boggling adventure. Those of you with an ability to perform under pressure and love and passion for adventure will be chosen through auditions that will be held all over the country later this year.

Speaking about the return of this action extravaganza, Ashvini Yardi, Programming Head, COLORS said, "Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2 is going to be a notch higher in terms of bigger celebrity participants than the last season, the difficulty level of challenges and even Akshay Kumar! The inclusion of the common man as a co-contender will definitely create a lot of excitement. This time around, the show plans to pack in a bigger punch to make sure everyone joins in on the excitement. Also, Akshay will be playing a much bigger role than just of a mentor and a host - something definitely to watch out for!"

The action will begin in February when auditions will be held across the country for viewers who would like to participate in the show. Auditions will be held in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Lucknow & Ahmedabad. COLORS will soon be revealing the names of celebrity participants on the show in a formal announcement in the next few months.

'Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2' will be produced once again by format owners, Endemol India which is the world leader in entertainment programming and the producers of hugely successful format-based shows in more than 25 countries.
