Madhur
Bhandarkar
has
given
many
female
actors
a
different
image
in
his
films.
Tabu
[Chandni
Bar],
Raveena
Tandon
[Satta],
Konkona
Sen
[Page
3],
Bipasha
Basu
[Corporate]
and
Neetu
Chandra
[Traffic
Signal]
are
living
examples
to
prove
that.
Now
he
comes
along
with
none
other
than
Sonali
Bendre
whose
last
big
screen
foray
was
way
back
in
2003
when
she
did
a
mini
appearance
as
a
doctor
in
Kal
Ho
Na
Ho.
However,
it
is
not
for
a
movie
that
the
two
are
coming
together.
Instead,
they
would
be
seen
in
different
roles
-
that
of
judges
in
a
reality-TV
show!
Called
'Mr.
and
Miss
Television',
the
show
aspires
for
hunting
the
most
talented
and
multi-faceted
TV
personality.
Though
newcomer
Shonali
Nagrani
would
be
hosting
the
show,
Madhur
Bhandarkar
and
Sonali
Bendre
would
be
judging
these
contestants.
There
would
also
be
a
celebrity
guest
every
day
on
the
show.
Says
Madhur
Bhandarkar,
"I
am
already
shooting
for
the
show
and
it
is
good
fun.
It
is
different
from
what
I
did
2
years
back
in
'Zee
Cinestars'
where
I
was
one
of
the
judges
along
with
Anupam
Kher
and
Pooja
Bhatt.
Here,
a
participant
not
just
goes
through
singing,
acting
and
dancing
routine.
Instead,
the
show
format
also
requires
stages
like
stand-up
acts
which
makes
it
different
from
other
reality
shows
in
the
running."
While
Kushal
Punjabi,
Sanjeet
Bedi,
Manoj
Bora,
Chetan
Hansraj,
Karan
Vahi
and
Swapnil
Joshi
are
the
male
participants,
the
female
line-up
consists
of
Shilpa
Saklani,
Aashka
Goradia,
Priyanka
Bassi,
Jasver
Kaur,
Purbi
Joshi
and
Nausheen
Ali
Sardar.
These
actors
will
compete
with
each
other
for
the
title
of
Mr.
and
Miss
Television.
When
questioned
about
his
co-judge
Sonali
Bendre,
Madhur
says,
"Oh,
she
looks
as
pretty
as
she
always
has
over
the
years.
It
is
nice
to
have
her
back
in
showbiz."
'Mr.
and
Miss
Television'
will
be
starting
from
24th
March.
