In an era dominated by reality shows and sports leagues, the “Pro Ludo Star League” is making its debut as a unique entertainment sport. Scheduled to commence in January, this league promises to offer an exciting twist to the traditional game of Ludo. At a press conference held to provide more details about the league, the organizers, hosts, and players shared their insights.
Astro Productions is the organizer of this league, with Sudesh Bhandari serving as the director and Azfar Razack as the executive producer. For the first time, Ludo will be played in an indoor arena spanning a colorful 40×40 square feet, enhancing its appeal. The league comprises eight teams, each featuring two stars drawn from cinema and television, along with 16 models adding to the glamour.
Arun Hariharan and Jahnavi will anchor the league, entertaining viewers with engaging commentary and vibrant interactions with players before and after matches.

Additionally, some unique rules have been adapted to make the game even more captivating. The filming will span 15 days.
