In
the second round on 30 July, final eight will be selected
from Mumbai. There will also be 'on-the-spot' auditions
for those who missed out on sending their entry from
9 am to 12 noon, on a first come first serve basis
on 29 July.
The
Oral-B JAK auditions will travel across five
cities to Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad
over 58 days, with the similar selection process and
will culminate in August. The most talented eight
contenders per city will be flown to Mumbai for the
final rounds.
The
auditions will be aired on Hungama TV where kids will
be seen displaying their singing, acting and dancing
talents.
The
selected talent pool will be further groomed by industry
professionals at every step of the contest. By a process
of elimination, the final four candidates will be
put up for a nationwide voting process via SMS / televoting,
following which the final two winners will be announced
at an event in Mumbai.
Finally,
one boy and one girl will be chosen to act in a UTV-produced
movie with Hungama TV's brand ambassador John Abraham
and will also be presented with a cash prize of Rs
500,000 each, along with a three year contract with
UTV to manage their acting careers.
Hungama
TV COO Zarina Mehta says, ''We are delighted to be
moving into the auditions phase of Oral B John
aur Kaun. We look forward to encountering some
hugely talented kids, two of whom will get the chance
of a lifetime to act with John in a UTV film. Excitement
levels amongst kids around the country are at fever
pitch, so let the show begin!"
Oral-B
JAK has received an overwhelming response and
UTV has announced a refund of Rs 400 to those who
have applied and paid an entry fee of Rs 500.
For
spot auditions, kids needs to go to the audition center
with their parent/guardian and pay Rs 100 as an entry
fee. UTV will get their entry forms filled and photographs
taken and take the audition.
