The show, produced by Banijay Asia, is directed by Tarun Panjwani and Ketan Mangoankar, and written by Jatin Sharma. The game show was originally created by the UK's Studio Lambert.
Making his debut as a host, Ashneer Grover said, “Rise & Fall is amongst the most captivating reality show concepts worldwide. Being a follower of reality shows, I think the division of contestants into haves and have nots brings a never experienced before dimension to reality shows in India. What excites me the most is the show's unpredictability, where power flips in seconds and no one can guess who’ll be on top tomorrow. The clashes, the hustle, and the drama make it unmissable. Hosting this show is like sitting front row to the biggest power game India has ever seen, and trust me, viewers are not ready for what’s coming."
Expressing his excitement about being part of the show, Arjun Bijlani shared, “I’ve hosted, I’ve acted, but nothing prepares you for a show like this. It is a completely new ballgame. Rise & Fall is raw and real — there’s no hiding behind a character. Every choice you make can push you to the penthouse or drop you to the basement. That unpredictability is what is what hooked me.”
With the 16 contestants from various backgrounds, it remains to be seen who all would be joining the show.
