New Delhi, Sep 13 - Picture this: judges, murder convicts, notorious politicians, policemen, criminal lawyers and actors living under the same roof, breathing the same air for days on end. It's about to happen - not in a court room - but on a TV reality show.
To be titled 'The Real Boss', it will be aired soon on STAR Plus and aims to reveal the truth behind real criminal cases, says Supreme Court lawyer Mithilesh Kumar Pandey who is the brain behind it.
'It will be the mother of all reality shows in India. A thriller which will reveal pure facts about many high profile criminal cases,' Pandey told IANS.
The concept is similar to the show 'Bigg Boss', which sees celebrities from various walks of life staying together till all but one is voted out.
'The participants will exchange their experiences and express their views. They will reveal their darkest secrets. They will lead a normal life in front of the camera for a period of three months,' said Pandey, adding he has already signed a contract with STAR Plus.
The duration of each episode will be half an hour and could be extended to one hour.
Besides Pandey himself, participants will include criminal lawyers Ram Jethmalani and K.T.S. Tulsi; convicted politicians Raja Bhaiya and Pappu Yadav; Uttar Pradesh politician D.P. Yadav; former Central Bureau of Investigation director Joginder Singh; retired apex court judge B.P. Singh; and former Patna High Court judge Nagender Rai.
