Vishal
Dadlani,
who
was
seen
as
a
judge
in
Indian
Idol
12,
will
yet
again
be
donning
the
judge's
hat
for
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
Vishal
had
taken
a
break
from
judging
Indian
Idol
in
June
2021
due
to
the
pandemic
and
had
shifted
base
out
of
Mumbai.
The
composer
had
shifted
to
Lonavala
a
few
months
back
with
his
parents
during
the
second
wave
of
the
pandemic
and
did
not
want
to
travel
to
Daman
for
shoot
as
he
was
concerned
about
his
parents
and
didn't
want
to
take
a
chance.
Recently,
the
singer
spoke
about
why
he
never
returned
to
Indian
Idol.
He
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"My
parents
are
my
first
priority.
Therefore,
I
decided
to
move
out
of
Mumbai
and
look
after
them
and
be
safe
at
home.
The
entire
focus
of
my
life
during
the
pandemic
was
to
keep
my
parents
safe.
And
thankfully,
we
are
healthy
and
fine."
Also,
Vishal
did
not
return
to
Indian
Idol
after
they
started
shooting
in
Mumbai.
He
was
spotted
with
audience
and
was
seen
cheering
for
the
singers
during
the
finale.
Vishal
was
replaced
by
Anu
Malik,
who
continued
to
judge
the
show
till
the
end.
Regarding
the
same,
he
said,
"I
was
away
for
a
few
months,
so
obviously,
they
had
to
bring
a
new
judge
in
my
place.
The
show
established
a
certain
pattern
and
it
was
not
economically
feasible
or
made
sense
to
bring
me
back
on
the
show.
I
am
expensive
as
a
judge
and
so
it
would
not
have
worked
out
to
bring
me
back
again."
Vishal,
who
is
all
set
to
judge
a
new
set
of
singers
in
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa,
concluded
by
saying
that
his
main
idea
or
focus
is
to
help
and
promote
young
musicians
and
give
them
a
platform.
