In Telly-Town, the most of the reality shows are adapted from overseas "Celebrity Big Brother" and 'Dancing with the Stars" but Life OK’s Upcoming show, ‘Dare 2 Dance’ which is been hosted by none-other-then bollywood Superstar, Akshay Kumar is changing the trend.

"I'll be very proud if somebody from the international world calls up the channel's team to say 'We want to buy the rights of this show'. I'll honestly be very proud," Akshay said at the show's launch.
Much to his delight, channel officials have already received a query regarding the show.

"On the basis of the promos, we have already got a query asking for the rights to the show from the eastern European market. It's a production house from there," Ajit Thakur, executive vice president and general manager, Life OK.

Spread across 16 episodes, the show, to be aired on Life OK starting Saturday, mixes dance with adventurous dares. And Akshay, as the anchor and mentor dares them to groove mid-air, underwater, in the midst of fire and on ice among other rough and tough situations.

It has Indian as well as foreign contestants and has been shot in the picturesque Cape Town in South Africa.

"He (Akshay) was called to anchor the show, but he played a stuntman, dancer, producer (well, almost), creative director and he even rapped for the title song," Thakur said, praising the actor's efforts to take the "small idea" of the show to a huge scale.

"It was boring to just stand and watch them doing the tasks, so I preferred enjoying with them and performing with them," he said.

Thakur said: "Yes, my team called me and said we will have to increase the insurance amount because we never planned for Akshay to do the stunts. He was underwater, he did the ice-skating and he even went mid-air."

Meanwhile, Thakur is already contemplating over the next destination abroad for season two.
