Chennai: Malayalam entertainment channel MazhavilManorama is known for bringing in most happening international reality and game show formats such as Madi for each other, Minute to Win It etc. to Malayalam audience.
The channel is now set for the debut season of another international format titled Still Standing (aka Who’s Still Standing) in Kerala market. Apparently, the format is also new to India as no other channel in any other market has tried it.
Israeli based Content creators Armoza Formats own the international format of the game show Still Standingand the remake rights of the same in India were acquired by Endemol Shine India. Apparently, Endemo, Shine India will be producing the show for MazhavilManorama.
MazhavilManorama has initiated the audition process for Still Standing since 7th May where in the auditions were conducted with interested candidates in Trivandrum, Trissur and Calicut from 10 am to 4 pm.
Still Standing game show format offers contestants the chance to win Rs 10 lacs by out-guessing ten opponents in ten fast-paced and dramatic trivia battles. As the clock winds down, contestants fight to be the last one still standing, because if they’re left scrambling for the answer, they’ll literally be dropped from the game – straight through the floor of the studio.
The challenge ends when a contestant misses a question: the trapdoor under that person’s feet opens, dropping the participant through the stage and eliminating him or her from the game with no winnings. If the hero drops, the victorious stranger wins Rs 10,000 (Rs 15,000 in the eighth or ninth challenge, Rs 50,000 in the tenth challenge). If the stranger drops, the hero wins an amount of money between Rs 1,000 and Rs 20,000, revealed on a screen at the stranger’s position once the challenge is over. The value of each stranger is based on the difficulty that the hero is expected to face in defeating him or her.
With more than 4,000 global episodes, the award-winning format ‘Still Standing’ is scoring above the channels’ average share – both in weekly and daily programming.
The Channel is yet to finalize the telecast date of the show.
