Zee TV's popular reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is back with an all new format, new contestants and mentors to guide them too. The journey will soon begin, since there remain only a few more days for the popular music reality show to go on air. 

This time the musical melodies will be mentored by ace music director and singer, Shankar Mahadev, the magical musical duo Sajid Ali-Wajid Ali and the master of Indian Ocean band, Rahul Ram. Interestingly, the show will try to give a realistic feel to the audience as well as the contestants by not keeping the musicians backstage but putting them along with the singers on the stage.

Throwing more light on the new concept of the show, Shankar Mahadev said, "Times are changing and so are the people. There is always a need to bring in some innovations by bringing in some idea. Otherwise people will lose interest amidst the crowd of all the shows. There are contestants coming from across the world from cities like New Jersey, Atlanta, amongst other places. People look for good talent. Belonging to a poor family and crying doesn't work to win heart of the audiences. At the end of the day, it's the talent of the contestants that works."
