MUMBAI: Breaking the boundaries of Marathi General Entertainment (GE), Star’s Marathi entertainment channel, Star Pravah is all set to present edge-of-the-seat excitement to Marathi viewers with its new non-fiction show Vikta Ka Uttar featuring Bollywood superstar Riteish Deshmukh.

In a first of its kind format, Vikta ka Uttar is a unique quiz show that will be a trendsetter for Marathi speaking audiences. Riteish will feature in a ‘never-seen-before’ avatar in this upcoming show, which endeavours not only to entertain, but also give every Maharashtrian a unique platform to earn lakhs of rupees as prize money.

Highly excited about his foray on Marathi Television Riteish opines, “Marathi is my mother tongue and I am really excited to debut on Marathi TV as a host. For quite some time, I have been looking at various concepts and formats but when Star Pravah approached me with Vikta Ka Uttar, I knew 'this was it'. In this show, the bargaining skills of a contestant will be put through rigour. I strongly believe that Vikta Ka Uttar will establish connect with every viewer because in our daily lives we keep on bargaining for some of the other reason.”
