According to a press release issued on January 16, the latest promo captures Akshay in top form as he introduces the essence of the show, where words, letters and quick thinking can change fortunes in a single spin. The promo leans into playful wordplay with lines such as “Shabdon ki galatfehmi kar sakti hai behremi” and “Ab matter karega har ek akshar jab ghoomega jaadu ka chakkar”, underlining the show’s core twist — every letter truly counts.

Sharing the promo on Instagram, Akshay Kumar added his signature humour to the announcement. “Kismat aapki, paisa channel ka… aur dher saari masti meri taraf se ;)” he wrote, inviting audiences to tune in from January 27, Monday to Friday at 9 PM, on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV. The post has already generated strong buzz, with fans expressing excitement at seeing him host a high-energy game show once again.

Amazing and grim battle for survival. Guess it will end up in Supreme Court. All that NCLT asked Zee to do was to file a reply to Invesco petition for a EGM. Now this is getting too serious. So far Invesco has been hammered for demanding an EGM. What is Zee upto? Ofcourse my lawyer community knows better!
