Along with many other Bollywood actors like Shahrukh and Salman, the ultimate action hero Akshay Kumar will now be seen hosting a show, Fear Factor - IDEA Khatron Ke Khiladi produced by Endemol India, in the to be launched channel Colors.

This show will see the 13 beauties performing various stunts and Akshay will help them perform the same. To provide courage, encouragement and inner self-belief to all the participants, Akshay Kumar recited the ‘Gayathri Mantra’ along with the 13 contestants before they performed their death-defying stunts in South Africa.

Prayer is a way of meditation; it is a way of consolidation of one's energy, calming the mind and being blessed by the universe at the same time. Keeping in tune with the same philosophy “Gayatri Mantra”, the foremost mantra of Hinduism was a prayer that was religiously chanted by Akshay Kumar and his 13 beautiful participants before the commencement of each stunt.

Confirming about the same, Akshay quips, “Whenever I do my stunts I say the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ in my mind. I strongly believe that our body is animated by life energy and according to India's science of sound healing, you can gather and direct that healing life force through the power of sacred sound. Hence to help the girls overcome their fear, I thought its best to start their stunts with this ultimate chant”.

The show takes the game to the highest level of physical and mental challenge, making it more gritty and edgy than ever before. Akshay is not the only attraction for the show, as he will be seen along with 13 Bollywood beauties namely, Yaana Gupta, Aditi Govtrikar, Pooja Bedi, Sonali Kulkarni, Anita Hasnandani, Meghna Naidu, Tapur Chatterjee, Tupur Cahtterjee, Nethra Raghuraman, Anjana Sukhani, Dipannita Sharma, Vidya Malvade & Urvashi Sharma">Urvashi Sharma who will compete with each other, to be the last-one-standing.

Akshay has always been known for his stunts he performs in the movies and this black-belt guy is surely the best choice for the show and what else could be the treat for the viewers as along with beauty, they will also get to see the 13 contestants performing very difficult stunts of their life. All the Best for these beautiful girls!!
