Renowned filmmaker Rohit Shetty compared hosting Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi with shooting a feature movie. The show returned to television with the 14th season on Colors TV on 27th July which showcases 12 contestants. Shetty shared that he took it as a challenge when the makers of the show first approached him as he was replacing big stars. He also stated that he was worried whether the audience would accept him as a host but he shared his gratitude that they loved him. 

In an interview with PTI, Rohit said “It’s a difficult show, it’s not like you are shooting in a studio every week, you shoot for 45 to 50 days in one go, it’s like a film. The audience doesn’t realise (this). In two days, you are showing them six to seven stunts, and it goes on for three months. At the same time, there are unforeseen conditions which come in, especially for the unit and team, like weather and a lot of other things.” 

“When they approached me first, I was like it’s a challenge because I was replacing stars, and I’m just a director. When I went to shoot the first season, I was anxious, all I could do was work hard. I was worried whether the audience would like me as a host or not with such a big show. I’m so grateful to them that they loved it,” he added. 

Rohit also said, “No stunt is a cakewalk, it’s all technique. You need to have the presence of mind, and you need to be very alert. At the end of the day, risk is involved. So, it’s never easy. Though you are trained to do all this, it’s never easy.”

Sumona Chakravarti, Shilpa Shinde, Asim Riaz, Krishna Shroff, Shalin Bhanot, Abhishek Kumar, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Karan Veer Mehra, Kedar Aashish Mehrotraa, Aditi Sharma, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Niyati Fatnani have participated in the 14th season of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi.
