Informs a source, "Sur Sangram is a zonal war between 24 contestants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. There will be 12 contestants each from both regions. The show will be hosted by Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari. Gajendrra Siingh has roped in Malini Awasthi and Kalpana to adjudicate the show. The two girls were seen as participants in Junoon which aired on Imagine and both of them represented Mati Ke Lal , one of the three teams on the show. Malini Awasthi was also one of the three finalists of Junoon . Shooting for the show will begin from 13 January 2009."
