Sahil Khattar to Host the Yamaha FZ25 Expedition

MUMBAI, April 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The Expedition, a creation of Beanstring, to start from April 27 

Comedian Sahil Khattar is all set to rock the Internet with a new show he's hosting, called the Expedition. Expedition features 12 young Voyagers, who embark on a road trip across 'Bharat', the India that lives in her villages and small towns. 

Created by Abhishek Talwar, Founder of Beanstring, this is a first of its kind show where viewers can not only vote for their favourite contestant, but also interact with them on a real-time basis, using the Beanstring App. "Young people living in big cities have a perception of rural India that may or may not be true. The Expedition is a platform for them to test their understanding - we're not judging them, just giving them a chance to see the truth for themselves, and in this process of exploration, hopefully embark on a journey of self-discovery," said Abhishek.

On Sahil hosting the show, Abhishek said, "We couldn't have found a better fit than Sahil Khattar for this show. With his quirky, clean and fun brand of humour, he adds a whole new dimension to the content. Also, Sahil's personal journey from starting off as a RJ at age 17, to hosting some of the country's biggest shows and live events like 'Dance and Dance' and 'Pro Wrestling League', besides launching his own YouTube channel, Khattarnaak , is in itself an inspiration for aspiring Voyagers on the Expedition. Sahil presents the most mundane of everyday tasks from a totally unexpected and hilarious perspective, which I am confident audiences and brands will find very appealing."

Along the journey, at each destination the Voyagers are given a 'mission' to complete by Sahil, the Mission Commander. Besides completing the task at hand, the voyagers also capture their experiences in the form of pictures and videos on their smartphones, which they then share on the Beanstring app. Each time these pictures and videos are viewed on Beanstring, the Voyagers earn Beans - the Voyager with the highest Beans earned at the end of the journey is the winner of the show.

"This is a first of its kind concept, and I am super excited to be an integral part of this show," said Sahil. Adding further, "The fact that the viewer has total control over which Voyager they want should win, is awesome. We are leveraging the power of social media, where the viewer is an integral part of the decision-making process." Speaking about his YouTube channel partnering Beanstring on this show, he said, "We are looking at creating new and differentiated content for Khattarnaak, and I am very happy that the Expedition will be a first of its kind show to debut on my YouTube channel." 

The Expedition, presented by Yamaha FZ25, and co-powered by ZTE Smartphones and Cadbury Fuse, is an 18-episode weekly show, which starts from 27 April, 2018, 16:00hrs onwards on Khattarnaak YouTube channel.
