MUMBAI: Last month we broke the news of 'The Stage' returning to the celluloid with Colors Infinity. We also reported about Vishal Dadlani, Monica Dogra, Ehsaan Noorani and Devraj Sanyal making a comeback as the jury and now we get you some more information.

As per Colors Infinity’s latest release, the English singing show that witnessed 20 chosen singers fight the battle to the title in its first season, will open its doors to all. Thus, singers across the country will get to be a part this life-changing experience by submitting their video entries on http://www.colorsinfinity.com/thestage/ starting 10 June 2016. Shortlisted participants from the online entries will vie in the on-ground auditions that will be held in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru for the final spots.

“India is a goldmine of talent. And we proved it last year with 20 of the best English singing talent competing in the first season of the show. 'The Stage' has done, what no one has done before. It has given the unexplored English singing talent in India a unique platform to show their mettle and enthral the audience with their sheer brilliance. Evaluating the response to the first season of the show, we have broadened the horizon by inviting participation from all over the country through our online platform and on-ground auditions,” said Ferzad Palia, EVP, Viacom18 and Head of English and Youth Entertainment.

He further assured that season two of ‘The Stage’ will be grander not only in terms of participation but also in the quality of the talent. “We can’t wait for the euphoria to begin,” said he. 

On the new format, SOL producer Fazila Allana said, “With the first season we introduced India to some amazing English music talent that was undiscovered. Now, this year, with the second edition, we are taking it up a notch with open auditions and are eagerly awaiting the flood of talent that will surely greet us.”

Shibani Dandekar will be seen as the host of this season.
