Sajid Khan replaces Anurag Basu on Sony TV's Super Dancer 2

Shilpa Shetty, Geeta Kapoor and Anurag Basu have been the perfect judges on the extremely popular dance reality show, Super Dance Chapter 2, which airs on Sony Entertainment Television. However, latest reports claim that Anurag Basu will no longer be a part of the show.

The Jagga Jasoss helmer has been replaced by none other than filmmaker Sajid Khan, who has previously judged many talent-search shows, including India's Best Dramebaaz and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. Interestingly, her sister Farah Khan appeared in the last to last episode of the show.


Confirming the development, Sajid Khan said, "I think the Khan family is completely ready to take over Super Dancer Chapter 2. Last week my elder sister Farah Khan, who I jokingly call my elder brother was here and today, I’m honoured enough to be on the show amongst my dear friends Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Geeta Kapur. Sitting on the Judge’s chair which belongs to Anurag Basu feels great! He is such a good human being and a good filmmaker. I genuinely want to keep coming on this show not because I’ve replaced Anurag Basu but because I am a fan of this show. The kids possess some outstanding talent and I am excited to be here."

  • The move follows a long slide in TV ratings and a push for younger online viewers

YouTube Oscars streaming rights are now confirmed, and the Academy has ended a major chapter in broadcast television. The awards, long tied to ABC in the United States, will move to a full streaming model from 2029. The announcement landed on Wednesday from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which said the YouTube agreement covers the 101st Oscars through to 2033.

ABC keeps the show until 2028. After that, viewers worldwide will be able to watch live and free on YouTube, while US subscribers can also access the YouTube TV feed. The Academy did not reveal financial terms. Still, the change marks one of the biggest shifts yet as film awards chase younger, digital-first viewers.
