MUMBAI: After airing numerous musical shows in the past, Star Plus is all set to launch another musical property ‘Funtakshari’ within the next two months.

The show is based on the format of the original musical game ‘Antakshari’ but will feature different twists and fun rounds along with participation by children. The team of two will include a child accompanied by parent and the show is stated to have three rounds related to music in various ways. It will be hosted by comedian Ali Asgar and ‘Star ya Rockstar’ winner Manasi Parekh Gohil and will be aired on weekdays in the evening time band.

Speaking about the show with Radioandmusic.com, Manasi Parekh Gohil said, “Funtakshari will bring together family members and combine the love that India has for music and bollywood. As music has always been a passion I am happy to get the opportunity to anchor a musical show. I have just completed acting in a musical play and this show is the perfect opportunity for me to return to music.”

Keeping the show’s format different from the previous versions of Antakshari aired over the years, Funtakshari aims to provide an array of music, bollywood trivia, humour and family entertainment. “Originally this was a game and when it was introduced there weren’t many options available for people. But now with the advent of social media there is going to be lot of competition and I hope we can live up to the expectations of the audience,” states Gohil.
