Viu and Nicotex partner to launch adventure series ‘I Can You Can’

Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: Viu, the premium video on demand service by Vuclip and PCCW, today announced the launch of its first adventure reality show ‘I Can You Can’ in partnership with Nicotex. The show is produced by BBC Worldwide India. With the introduction of this new style of journey-based content, Viu continues to offer fresh and compelling content in a variety of genres.

The six-episode series is set to go live Sunday December 17, 2017 at 7:00 pm IST and will be telecast every Sunday. It will be available on Viu and will be televised as a simulcast on National Geographic. Hosted by actor, model, and athlete Milind Soman, the series will showcase a journey of six people, including three who want to quit smoking and three who have already succeeded in quitting. The interesting part of the journey is the interaction between the smokers and the ones who have quit and their efforts to not just conquer the Everest Base Camp, but also their own “personal Everests”.

We filmed in 2 countries and across cultures while attempting one the world’s toughest climbs. The series talks about kicking the addiction to smoking but is told in an engaging way, that does not preach or condescend.
