The show that turned viewing preferences topsy-turvy and re-wrote the meaning of entertainment by introducing the concept of reality show to the Keralite audience returns in its second season, as Super Star-2. Starting the 20th of this month, Super Star-2 will hold sway over prime-time audiences again from 7.30 to 8.30 pm.

Hariharan, noted playback singer, ghazal wizard and composer who made a grand entry into the world of music with the chart-busting 'Colonial Cousins' will be the super star celebrity member for the inaugural episodes. By way of history, the three 'Super Star' audition centres of Trivandrum, Calicut and Cochin were besieged by enthusiastic applicants eager to try out their singing skills. For those who were unable to make it to the regular audition centres, Amrita TV arranged the ‘Super Star Express’, a mobile audition coach that visited select colleges across Kerala, for conducting spot auditions.

Students who qualified in the 'Super Star Express' Auditions bagged a Wild Card entry to the next level. The aspiring throngs were trimmed down to a hundred and finally filtered to the top 20 aspirants, who represent a unique mix of talent with varied backgrounds—from medicine to engineering and music to computer sciences with ages ranging from 16 to 29 years.

The youthful and dynamic trio of M.Jayachandran, Deepak Dev and Alphonse are at the helm in Super Star-2–along with ace pianist, Stephen Devassy for music accompaniment.

With the second season of Kerala’s first ever reality show cruising for a grand take off on the 20th of July, audiences can look forward to the re-creation of the magic that mesmerized Malayalee primetime viewers not so long ago—with innovations that will be remembered for long.
