MUMBAI: Zee TV has launched the second season of its on-ground talent-hunt for aspiring actors Idea Zee Cinestars.

The show will be judged by a jury comprising actor Anupam Kher, actress and filmmaker Pooja Bhatt and filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar. Idea Zee Cinestars will be anchored by actor Aman Verma.

Zee Network senior vice president Ashish Kaul said, “Idea Zee Cinestars has so far received lots of entries from young candidates who want to make a name for themselves in Indian cinema. The show will provide participants from various cities an opportunity to court fame and fortune by showcasing their acting and dancing skills.”

“The hunt will narrow down to two best performers from the entire nation. Sixty participants will be brought down to Mumbai, where, over the weeks they will begin to get eliminated to give us the winners of Idea Zee Cinestars,” he added.

This journey to fame will be interwoven with the trials and tribulations of the participants who are hoping to be introduced to Hindi cinema as actors. The journey of these contestants will be shown as a reality series spanning through 18 weeks.
