Sonu Sood has taken over as host of MTV Roadies from Rannvijay Singha. He was willing to share. The shoot will commence in South Africa in the second week of February and will air on MTV India in March 2022.
Sonu said, “The journey of MTV Roadies moulds you into a champion for life. The series of challenges are unlike any other as they put you in contention with yourself to see if you have the fight within to emerge back as a stronger version of yourself. I am truly honoured to be hosting the 18th season of MTV Roadies. “The new season of the stunt reality show is set against the locales of South Africa.”

“As a host, I will guide the contestants through the tough journey ahead in South Africa while challenging them to see if they have the spirit within of being a true Roadie,” he added.
Apart from his roles as a contestant, host, and mentor, Rannvijay became synonymous with the show, and many potential participants attended tryouts only to meet him. The youth reality show, which debuted in 2003, had Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman as judges and creators. They quit the show in 2014. Their exit was equally unexpected, and it would be interesting to see how they respond to Singha’s statement.
Rannvijay revealed the news to his fans, saying, “The channel has been a key pillar of my journey and I’ll be doing interesting work with them. On this edition of Roadies, things didn’t work out from both sides. Our dates were not matching and it is disheartening.”
Singha further elaborated to say that he had no issue with the production house. In fact, “I’ve been working with the channel for 18 years. I’ve done different shows with the network. Production house aur mera koi taal mel hai nahi,” he told a media agency.
