If all goes as planned, Bollywood's "Khiladi" Akshay Kumar will reportedly host the grand finale of TV reality show "MasterChef India 4".
The actor judged the first season of the Indian adaptation of the internationally popular format as well.
"The makers are in talks with the 47-year-old to join the finale because of his long-term relationship with the channel, his love for food and the association with 'MasterChef India'," said a source.
He was earlier approached to be maha-judge for the entire season, but due to last minute work developments, he had to opt out, read a statement.
The stint with Bollywood's superstars doesn't end here. Aamir Khan, who turned vegan this month, is also in talks with the makers of the Star Plus show. He has been approached to judge the finale of the show, which introduced a vegetarian twist to its format this season.
The show, which is being judged and hosted by culinary experts Sanjeev Kapoor, Vikas Khanna and Ranveer Brar, will air the final episode on April 12.
