Mumbai, Aug 12 - Popular TV talk show 'Movers & Shakers' will be back in a new format - this time on the internet - with Sumeet Raghavan set to play show host instead of Shekhar Suman. Titled 'Jai Hind!', it will go live on the web Aug 15.

'We are launching 'Jai Hind', the sequel to 'Movers & Shakers', exclusively on internet, which will make it the first ever programme to be exclusively made for the new media. The concept of the show is similar to 'Movers & Shakers',' Abhigyan Jha, the director and the producer of the show, told IANS in an interview.

Buzzintown.com is the internet partner for 'Jai Hind', which can be viewed on http://jayhind.buzzintown.com. Or one can simply search for 'Jay Hind' on Youtube and subscribe to it.

The 15-20-minute-long show is especially designed for internet users. Jha says he has changed the format of the show, but there are no changes in the creative team that worked with him on 'Movers and Shakers'.

'The same creative and writing team is working for this show... we can expect same exciting and hilarious content. We will also have guest appearances by celebrities. We will also do some zany gags outside the studio...we will shoot on the streets across the country and that will make it an interesting watch,' Jha said.

From politics to Bollywood, business to Indian Premier League -- the show will hit various subjects to create humour.

Asked why he chose to launch it on the web, Jha said: 'On TV there is a glut of mediocre programmes while on the internet there is a growing audience that wants to watch cutting-edge entertainment that is not even close to boring.'

The original show 'Movers & Shakers' went on air in 1997 on Sony with actor Shekhar Suman as its host. It helped the actor build his persona, but after hosting it for more than three years, Shekhar abruptly bade adieu to it in June 2001.

Jha feels Shekhar has lost his edge and therefore they opted for Sumeet, known for his funny portrayal of Sahil Sarabhai in sitcom 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai', to host the show.
