Actor Rannvijay Singha gained fame from the reality show Roadies, which premiered in 2003. After winning the title, he became synonymous with the series, continuing his role until 2021. Now, three years after stepping back, Rannvijay is set to return as the host for Roadies Season 20, titled Double Cross. MTV recently released a promo featuring Rannvijay in a leather jacket riding a bike, asking, “Roadie Banega Tu?”
Reflecting on his return, Rannvijay shared, “Roadies isn’t just a show—it’s an emotion for me; it’s my comfort zone, I’m home. For two decades, it’s been fueled by the relentless passion, grit, and dreams of millions. It’s more than just a platform; it’s a rite of passage for an entire generation. Personally, it’s a symbol of everything the youth of this country stands for—courage, ambition, and resilience. I’m grateful that I have been part of this extraordinary legacy. As we embark on this new chapter with Roadies Double Cross, I can’t wait to feel that unmatched adrenaline again, alongside the dreamers who live for this journey.”
The upcoming season will center around themes of betrayal, where not only gang leaders will face deceit from each other, but also from their team members. To increase the drama, auditions for Roadies will commence in mid-October.
After Rannvijay stepped down in 2021, sports figures like Harbhajan Singh and Vijender Kumar took over hosting duties. In the previous two seasons, actor Sonu Sood filled the role that Rannvijay once held. Last season featured Rhea Chakraborty, Prince Narula, and Gautam Gulati as gang leaders, but the identities of the leaders for the new season remain undisclosed.
During his hiatus from Roadies, Rannvijay hosted a season of Shark Tank India, appeared in the web series Mismatched, and co-hosted the Netflix dating reality show In Real Love alongside Gauahar Khan.
