Indian
Idol
12
has
been
hitting
the
news
since
a
long
time.
The
singing
reality
show
is
nearing
its
finale
but
the
makers
have
introduced
powerplay
round,
in
which
the
contestants
who
will
be
getting
highest
votes
will
automatically
get
an
entry
to
perform
in
the
finale
rounds.
Regarding
the
same,
host
Aditya
Narayan
revealed
that
this
is
not
the
first
time
it
is
happening
and
also,
the
decision
of
'no
elimination'
was
a
collective
call
by
entire
team,
production
and
channel.
Aditya
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"It's
not
the
first
season
when
the
makers
have
decided
to
have
no
eliminations.
There
will
be
no
eliminations
for
a
few
weeks.
It's
a
collective
call
that
the
entire
team,
production
and
channel
has
taken
as
our
show
has
been
on
air
since
25
weeks,
and
it
has
connected
with
viewers."
He
further
added,
"As
a
music
lover,
I
wouldn't
mind
listening
to
the
exceptionally
talented
contestants
week
after
week.
And
the
viewers
who
have
enjoyed
watching
the
show
would
also
like
to
see
the
talented
contestants
perform.
They
are
truly
superb
and
hard
working.
So,
essentially,
there
won't
be
any
eliminations
and
votes
from
all
weeks
will
be
counted
cumulatively
and
then
the
eliminations
will
happen.
We
are
just
a
few
more
weeks
away
from
the
finale
now."
Meanwhile,
Kumar
Sany,
Roop
Kumar
Rathod
and
Anuradha
Paudwal
will
be
gracing
the
show
as
special
guests
in
the
upcoming
weekend

The
singers
have
apparently
shot

the
episode
and
Kumar
Sanu
was
seen
praising
the
contestants
of
the
show
and
called
them

they
have
entertained
viewers

so
many
weeks.
