Akshay Kumar likely to return as host for Wheel Of Fortune India Season 2; industry buzz suggests renewal Akshay Kumar may soon be returning to television screens as host of Wheel Of Fortune India, with industry sources indicating that the game show has been greenlit for a second season. While an official announcement is still awaited, reports suggest the channel is keen to continue with the actor at the centre of the format following the response to its debut run. The Indian adaptation of the globally recognised game show premiered on January 27, 2026, marking one of the first major reality television launches of the year. Based on the iconic American series Wheel of Fortune, the format has enjoyed decades of popularity internationally since first airing in 1975. The original version went on to become one of the longest-running game shows in television history, spanning more than four decades and building a strong worldwide fan base. The Indian version, meanwhile, appears to have found encouraging traction among viewers in a relatively short period. According to trade circles, the decision to move ahead with another season has been influenced by stable ratings and audience engagement through the first edition. Many within the television industry also believe Akshay Kumar’s presence played a key role in helping the show connect with family audiences. The actor’s hosting style — relaxed, conversational and spontaneous — was widely noted as a good fit for the format.
