Exclusive: Shah Rukh Khan will be back with TED Talks India season 2, Details inside

Speculations have been rife for quite some time that the second season of TED Talks India: Nayi Soch, hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, may not happen this year as the superstar is busy with his film, Zero. However, After Hrs has learnt that the makers are apparently planning it for the last quarter of 2018.

A source informs that the show is likely to be shot in November and aired the same month or in December. “Last time, the episodes were shot in August and aired in December, but this time, there won’t be such a long gap between the shoot and the telecast. It will be on the same channel that aired the first season,” adds the source.

Though the first season didn’t get high TRPs, it got critical acclaim for being different and knowledge-driven. In April this year, TED announced that the show will be renewed for three more seasons. 

However, they didn’t give the timeline. But when they asked Shah Rukh if he could allot dates this year, he apparently agreed to shoot in November. While the previous season comprised seven episodes, this time he is likely to shoot for eight to 10 episodes. “Celebrities including music maestro AR Rahman, who couldn’t make it last time, will be invited to give a motivational talk,” adds the source.
