Vijay Suriya is reported to have told the Times of India, “This is the first time that I am trying my hand at hosting and I am excited. We began shooting for the show on Sunday and it goes on air in November. The interesting part is that this comes on air the same time as Agni Sakshi does, but on weekends. So, the audience can now see Siddharth from Agni Sakshi on the weekdays, but also get a chance to know Vijay Suriya, the person, on weekends.”
Incidentally, Srujan Lokesh and Rachita Ram have been roped in as permanent judges for Comedy Talkies while one judge would be different for each show.
