Manisha Sharma, Programming Head, COLORS' further elaborated saying "We have been taking the show to lots of exotic locations, Spain being the latest one. The line-up this year is very promising and the fact that we must take the show to its next level is very challenging. With Rohit Shetty back in the mix this year, we have tried to custom make stunts going by the playout of the previous seasons. Pain in Spain is going to be fun. Rohit too has his own ideas of frying this new bunch of contestants! The season is truly going to be Darr Ka naya Definition. The viewers will have a blast watching the Dangal girl- Geeta Phogat fight in a new battleground, daily soap bahu - Hina Khan test new waters out of her comfort zone, and have other television heartthrobs, Bigg Boss winners, singers and anchors prove their mettle against fear."
