Cricketers out,actors in Fear Factor

With cricketers out of Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi,the channel Colors and the production house Endemol are now looking for Bollywood actors to be a part of the soon-to-be-launched show hosted by Priyanka Chopra. According to sources,the actors who have been approached include Arya Babbar,Sonu Sood,Sammir Dattani,Milind Soman and Rahul Bose. When contacted,Rahul confessed that he had been approached. I am considering it and after playing rugby for long,it will be fun doing the show, he quipped. Sammir Dattani,who will soon be seen in I Hate Luv Storys with Sonam Kapoor and Imran Khan said,Nothing has been confirmed yet. Sonu Sood confirmed that he had been approached but is unable to do it as the dates clash with his films that hes doing in the South. Model-turned-actor Milind Soman admitted that he has been approached for the show but refused to divulge further details. However,when contacted,the channels spokesperson said,Nothing has been confirmed yet.

Season 3 of Khatron Ke Khiladi was to be an Indian Premier League IPL edition with national and international cricketers participating. However,the Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI has put a spanner in the works by prohibiting cricketers from being a part of it because the cricketers contracts do not permit them to undertake stunts. Recently,Colors had sent a notice to BCCI for the same.
