MUMBAI: Colors is gearing up to launch the third season of its talent hunt reality show, India‘s Got Talent.

The show will be launched on 29 July and occupy the Friday-Saturday 9 pm slot, replacing Khataron ke Khiladi - Torchaar.

For the IGT - 3, Sonali Bendre and Kirron Kher are returning as judges, while the third judge on the panel will be Bollywood‘s evergreen superstar Dharmendra. 

This season will see artists and performers spanning a spectrum of talents.

Colors programming head Ashvini Yardi said, "India‘s Got Talent has a legacy of finding individuals and groups with unique and enchanting talents. In the past, the show has given India two gems in the form of The Prince Group in the first season which has since then gone on to make our nation proud on many international level events. The second gem was The Shillong Chamber Choir which charmed its way into peoples‘ hearts with their soulful musical stylings. This year, the search is on yet again to find a talent that surpasses both these groups. And to help us in our endeavor, we have none other than the very talented, evergreen actor with Greek God looks and a heart of gold, Dharmendra joining our other jury members gorgeous Sonali and graceful Kirron Kher."
