Actor-director Farhan Akhtar, who will host TV show 'I Can Do That', today said he did feel the pressure to make the programme entertaining for the audience.
"The pressure on me is that the show should do well... make sure the show is fun-filled and entertaining. I just hope it goes well. I do not succumb to pressure. But there is a responsibility towards the channel... The show," Farhan told reporters here at a press conference to announce details of the programme, which will premiere on Zee TV on October 17.
The show will challenge 12 celebrities to walk out of their comfort zone and perform stunts and entertaining acts. Farhan will act a friend, confidant and motivator to the contestants.
"This kind of show has never come on television. One would see contestants either dancing or singing. The show is not like 'Fear Factor' (an adventure reality show).
"It is about learning and performing new skills... It is not about doing death defying stunts or eating something one doesn't like," said the 41-year-old, who wears many a hat in the film world.
The 12 celebrity-contestants are Dino Morea, Gauhar Khan, Gurmeet Choudhary, Mandira Bedi, Rithvik Dhanjani, Shibani Dandekar, Meiyang Chang, Madhurima Tuli, VJs Bani and Andy, chef Ranvir Brar and Bharti Singh.
"There are contestants whom I know personally and there are some whom I did not know. I just hope they do not get injured (in the show)," Farhan said.
