Ajay Devgn Confirms Hosting Gig for New Crime-Based Programme on Sony TV
Bollywood star Ajay Devgn is poised to make a significant foray into television as the host of a new crime-based show on Sony TV. According to exclusive reports, the actor has given his nod to the project and is expected to begin shooting soon if plans proceed as scheduled.
The upcoming programme will draw from true events and explore the crime and suspense genre. While the title, exact format and premiere details remain under wraps, sources indicate it will feature gripping narratives centred on real-life cases. This marks a fresh chapter for Devgn, who has primarily ruled the big screen for over three decades with roles spanning action thrillers, dramas and comedies.
Sony TV has recently featured big-ticket hosts, including Akshay Kumar earlier this year on Wheel of Fortune. Devgn’s entry into the crime space aligns with his on-screen image, having essayed intense cop and investigative characters in films such as the Singham franchise and Drishyam series. Fans familiar with his commanding presence will likely welcome his transition to the small screen in a hosting capacity.
Earlier speculation had linked him to the JioHotstar reality show The 50, but those reports did not materialise into a full hosting role. This new project appears more definitive. Industry observers note that Devgn’s association could lend considerable weight and viewership to the show, especially in a genre that continues to hold strong appeal among Indian audiences.
At present, the actor is also preparing for upcoming film projects, including Drishyam 3. An official announcement from the makers or Sony TV is awaited to confirm further details on the television venture.
The development has already generated buzz, with many viewing it as an exciting expansion of Devgn’s career into the television domain.
