From Cricket Pitch to OTT Stage: Veerendra Sahab Joins Rise and Fall Season 2

Mumbai, 11 September – Former cricket icon Veerendra Sahab steps onto the OTT arena as the host of "Rise and Fall Season 2". The promotional video released on Friday showcases Sahab’s playful narrative about life’s fluctuations and the unpredictable nature of the competition.

The format splits 15 celebrity contestants into two groups: the privileged "Rulers" who reside in a Penthouse and the under‑dog "Workers" who endure Basement hardships. Each choice, partnership and strategic play can alter the game’s trajectory, echoing the suspense of a cricket finale.

Sahab remarked, “Just as a cricket match can flip on the final ball, this show keeps you guessing till the end. There’s no shortcut to victory and no fixed rank.” He emphasized that the true challenge is maintaining a top position once it’s achieved, balancing aggression, defense and timing.

Created by Banijay Asia, the MX Original series will stream for free on Prime Video, merging sports‑derived mindset with reality‑TV excitement.
