Mumbai: Colors TV and JioHotstar’s upcoming reality show The 50 is all set to premiere on February 1, and even before its launch, the show has created massive buzz on social media. Dubbed as the “Indian Squid Game,” the 50-day-long reality show will feature 50 celebrities locked inside a grand palace, where the competition will test not just physical strength but also strategy, mind games and betrayal.
At the centre of the show is a mysterious character called The Lion, who acts as the ultimate authority and controls the entire game.
