As Ranveer Singh is all set to make his television debut with The Big Picture, the actor is trying his hand at hosting a quiz show for the first time. It is a unique visual based quiz show that is all set to premiere on October 16 on Colors.

On Wednesday, the actor hosted a mock quiz with the media in Mumbai, where the media persons got to play contestants and answer the questions asked by the actor. The fun and interactive quiz session ended with Ranveer answering the few questions asked by the media.

When asked about was his decision to debut on TV motivated by the fact that films have taken a hit during the pandemic? Ranveer said, “Yes, it has been a tough time for the film industry. Cinema halls have been shut for a long time, but the good news is, they are opening soon. Sooryavanshi is releasing on Diwali, followed by 83 on Christmas and Jayeshbhai Jordaar on Mahashivratri. But my decision to debut on TV has nothing to do with cinema halls being shut. It was an independent and clear decision based on the format the and team, which excited me.”

He concluded by saying that, “So far, it has been a great period of prep. The rise of OTT is also a great thing, for writers, actors, and going forward, the existing structure of entertainment will change as compared to pre Covid times. But they can all co-exist and ultimately it will all boil down to content.”
