Ajay Devgn to host a TV show

With the likes of Amitabh Bachchan already onboard hosting the benchmark show Kaun Banega Crorepati and Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dumapparently in the pipeline, the channel is in a predicament to approve another project to be hosted by a male actor from B-Town. 



Ajay Devgn, who has now set his eyes on television may bear the brunt of this decision. He has given his nod to a stunt-based reality show, tentatively titled as Hai Dum which was to be co-hosted by Priti Desai, (who featured in F.A.L.T.U.) but now it appears that the channel is not interested in the project. They would rather like to do a show with a female host. Informs a source, "Ajay has given his nod to the project. It is a very interesting concept, and it is not a copy of a show abroad. In fact, it will be launched in India and internationally at the same time. However, the channel decided to turn it down as they want some female-oriented reality show. Ajay was even ready to co-produce it. We have started pitching it to other broadcasters now." Seems like good things have to wait at times. The channel in question declined that they are even coming up with such a show with Devgn as the host. A source close to Ajay says, "He has no idea which channel has been approached. He is in talks with Vikay Amritraj, whose concept it is, and he is the one talking to different channels. Two channels have shown interest. However, right now talks are still in the very initial stages and so it is difficult to say much at this time."
