It has already been declared that MTV Roadies is set to go back to its original format, i.e, there will be just one host and no gang leaders fighting for the trophy along with their groups. Gang leader of the previous season and popular singer Raftaar recently opened up on the reason for not being part of the show. He shared that even if the format had not changed, he would not have been part of the upcoming season owing to his other commitments.
Raftaar said, “I had already said no to the season before these changes took place. I can’t talk about it but I have signed up for something else.” Further he shared that he is also producing a film with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and that the project is his priority now.
On commenting about Sonu Sood taking charge as the new host after Rannvijay Singha, Raftaar said, “Sonu bhaiyaa will bring a new look and I wish the team the best for the new season. However, one can also not deny the 18 years of legacy Rann bhai has left.”
Raftaar joined Roadies in 2018 with Xtreme season. In just a year of coming onboard, he managed to win the season as his team member, Arun Sharma won the finale task. Last season, when the show went on floors post-pandemic, Varun Sood had replaced Raftaar as the gang leader, given the singer had prior commitments.
