Why launch another musical show in Fame Gurukul so close to Indian Idol?
We believe it is a natural extension of Indian Idol. We have a fabulous academic staff in Fame Gurukul — Ila Arun, Shankar Mahadevan. They will put those selected through the paces of improving their voice, pitch, diction, attire, and give them a chance at fame, fortune and a successful future. Fame Gurukul will close and Indian Idol will open again. Helping us stay in touch with our audience, interact with them on the ground and on air throughout the year. We created singer millionaires of talented individuals who probably would have found it difficult to get into the music companies’ offices. And we will do the same with Gurukul too.
