Renowned singer Daler Mehendi and musician duo Sajid-Wajid have come on board as mentors for the new season of  Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar which goes on air from August 13.

Also, music composers Vishal-Shekhar who were part of the Saregamapa Challenge in 2007, return to the music show while Rock On! actor Purab Kohli has been roped in as a host this season."Sa Re Ga Ma Pa will retain the quality singing it represents, but will have an entirely new, young and contemporary look and feel," Nitin Vaidya, COO ZEEL and Business Head, Zee TV said here today.

He said right from the set design to the selection of the anchor and the judges, have all been done keeping in mind the new identity of the 15-year-old show.

"Aspiring singers have always considered this stage sacrosanct and have toiled hard to be selected as Sa Re. It is the most credible platform to get a good break in the music industry," Vaidya said.The channel has selected 18 contestants to compete for the title of singing superstar after auditions in Indore, Bangalore, Guwahati, Baroda, Bhubaneshwar, Kolkata, Nagpur, Mumbai, Jalandhar, Lucknow, Jaipur and Delhi. Auditions were also held in Dubai, New York, London, Australia, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

"This is the first time we are conferring a title to the winner 'A Singing Superstar', who has complete command over the basics of music - 'Sur', 'Taal' and performs with a voice that holds the audience captive and mesmerized," he added.
