Ahead of the show’s highly anticipated launch, players including Soundous Moufakir, Aaditya Kulshreshth (Kullu), Shahneel Gill, Rida Tharana, Parul Gulati, and Shweta Tiwari featured in a candid new promo video that quickly devolved into a game of suspicion, strategy, and playful accusations over who holds the title of the ultimate “Chalaak Lomdi” (sly fox).
Set against the regal backdrop of Jaisalmer’s Suryagarh Palace, the upcoming season sees filmmaker Karan Johar return to guide the high-stakes game where trust is rare and deception is strategy. Adding a fresh twist to the dynamic this season, Johar is joined by a mysterious new accomplice named Boo, introduced as the harbinger of bad news (“Buri Khabar”).
The newly released trailer plunges audiences directly into the castle’s tense environment. “This palace looks like a dream… and I can’t wait to turn that dream into a nightmare,” Johar declares in the footage, signalling a tougher, far less forgiving chapter for the incoming contestants.
