Filmmaker, choreographer, and producer Farah Khan has expressed excitement over the upcoming reality show 'The 50', calling it a game-changer for Indian reality television.

Speaking about the show, Khan said in a statement, "Reality shows in India have followed a certain pattern for years, and finally The 50 is coming in to shake that up. The scale is massive, the number of people is unprecedented, and the constant pressure leaves no room for comfort. That's exactly what makes it exciting--it's intense, unpredictable, and a wild ride from start to finish. Comfort zone jaisi cheez yahaan exist hi nahi karti. Having seen and judged almost every kind of reality format, I genuinely believe The 50 will change the way audiences look at reality television"

The makers unveiled The 50 through a promo, which opens with Farah Khan pointing at a towering advertisement that reads, "Badalne waali hai reality shows ki reality." In the clip, she humorously questions why she hasn't been called for what is being touted as India's biggest reality show. What follows is a sharp and playful exchange, setting the tone for the show's ambitious format and disruptive spirit.

In the promo, Farah Khan is seen at the centre of the intrigue as she reacts to 'The 50' and its host, The Lion, in her trademark unfiltered style.
