MUMBAI: The 90s era witnessed some of the most legendary singers who not only ruled hearts but also gave us timeless classics that will be remembered for generations to come. Indian Idol is one show that has always celebrated singers, and it looks like yet again it’s going to honor a legend on its podium. As one of India’s most loved singing reality shows, Indian Idol is set to return with Season 16, and speculation is rife that Udit Narayan might come back as a judge. While he served as a judge on Indian Idol Season 3 in 2007, could he be making a comeback in Season 16?
A source close to the development said, “If all goes well, Udit ji will be seen on the judges’ chair in Indian Idol 16, and it’s going to be massive news for 90s music fans. With this year’s theme being “Yaadon Ki Playlist”, is Udit Narayan coming as the fourth judge to plug in the theme of nostalgia? He has also visited the set, and was spotted shooting alongside Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Badshah during the auditions round while conversations with the makers are currently underway.”
