Amrita TV to underline The Truth of iconic figures

Televisionpoint.com Correspondent | Hyderabad
Amrita TV, the Malayalam general entertainment channel (GEC), will launch a new chat show, The Truth, which will present regional iconic figures in the centre of the public eye. The show will begin on February 7, and will be an anchor and celebrity based face-to-face talk show that will be telecasted every Saturday at 10.30 pm.

"The celebrities are often the victims of scandals they are not party to or pursued by allegations they know nothing of. Since they have no direct access to the public, they are caught up in a mesh of fact, fiction and fantasy and have little chance of clearing themselves," says an official spokesperson from the channel.

A quest in search of the absolute truth, the show views the issue from both sides, presenting the accusations, the incriminating charges, the libel, the public perception –as well as the 'victim's' counter points and defense.

The anchor will embark on his cross examination in an interrogative fashion without mincing words or beating about the bush, pinning the interview down exclusively to vital talking points regarding the celebrity.

In the weeks to come, ministers and bigwigs from the political arena, idols from the silver screen, cult figures from socio-cultural fields line up in the hot seat of The Truth.
