The Traitors trailer: Karan Johar hosts Uorfi Javed, Maheep Kapoor, Ashish Vidyarthi and others in this enigmatic reality show

The trailer of Karan Johar hosted reality show The Traitors was unveiled by the makers on Friday. An Indian adaptation of the international reality show, it features twenty diverse celebrities, including Anshula Kapoor, Apoorva, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Nourouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Janvi Gaur, Jasmine Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Lakshmi Manchu, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Raftaar, Raj Kundra, Sahil Salathia, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sufi Motiwala, and Uorfi Javed as they try to deceive each other in this battle of will and wit.

The trailer features the twenty players arriving at the royal Suryagarh Palace in Rajasthan with a single objective: to win the title and the significant cash prize by going through various physical and psychological missions. Identified as ‘innocents,’ players must find and eliminate the ‘traitors’ from among them, who are carefully and secretly chosen at the beginning of the show by the host, Karan. The traitors will need to eliminate the innocents, unless the innocents are able to identify them. The trailer features moments of intensity and fights among the celebrities, debating about who are the traitors. It ends with Karan saying, “Yahan trust is rare, but Dhokha everywhere (Here trust is rare but deception is everywhere)”.

Speaking about the show in a press release, Karan said, “You will see me enjoy myself to the hilt, as I not only orchestrate the gameplay but also get a front-row seat to all the chaos, conflicts, and conspiracies that transpire between the 20 players. The drama gets way too real, and the stakes even more so. While the players enter the palace ready to outsmart, outplay, and outlast everyone else, all their strategies go out the window the moment I choose the traitors from amongst them. So, rise and shine, cause it’s Dhokha Time.”

Nikhil Madhok, head of Originals, Prime Video, India, added, “With The Traitors, we’re diving headfirst into a format unlike anything India has seen before, and the trailer is just a glimpse into the edgy, gripping, and wildly unpredictable show that redefines what reality content can be. The Indian adaptation adds its own texture to the globally celebrated format while retaining the core elements that have made the show a worldwide phenomenon.”

Prime Video has collaborated with All3Media International for the local adaptation of the popular show. It is produced by BBC Studios India Productions.

It is set to premiere on Prime Video on June 12 with new episodes releasing every Thursday.
