MTV Roadies 21 Rebirth: 6 Gang Leaders, 16 Oct Premiere
MTV Roadies 21 returns as Roadies REBIRTH on 16 October with six gang leaders across two teams. Here are the OGs, the NewGs and the format twist.
MTV Roadies is back for a 21st season, and the show is calling it a rebirth for a reason. Roadies REBIRTH premieres on 16 October and will air every Friday and Saturday at 7 PM on JioHotstar and MTV. The big change? Two teams will be steered by six Gang Leaders, split into an old guard and a new wave.
Who are the six Gang Leaders?
The line-up is a straight face-off between legacy and fresh energy.
- OG side: Nikhil Chinapa, Neha Dhupia and Prince Narula
- NewG side: Abhishek Malhan (Fukra Insaan), Bani J and Baseer Ali
Why the Rebirth format is different
Roadies has long lived on one leader per gang. Season 21 puts three leaders on each side, which means the drama can now come from inside a team as much as from rival gangs. Rannvijay Singha appears in the first promo checking in on the leaders before the journey begins.
“Three OGs will face three NewGs, and this is a dynamic we’ve never seen before on Roadies. The real journey is about to begin, and I can’t wait to see what they bring to the Roadies journey!”
Rannvijay Singha said in a statement.
What the first promo shows
The early footage is more comic than combative. The OGs hit the gym, and a bench-press moment quickly turns into a blooper. Bani and Baseer start a push-up challenge, Abhishek joins in, and their fitness face-off goes sideways. Neha also takes a playful dig at Prince’s general knowledge, hinting the season will mix muscle with mischief.
The promise from the makers
A source involved in the show told Filmibeat the channel and production house have “left no stone unturned” for the new season, from the theme to the line-up of leaders and contestants. That is a strong signal the show wants to recapture the buzz of its early years while keeping newer faces in the mix.
What it means for Roadies fans
Six leaders across two gangs raises the stakes for viewers who tune in for personalities as much as tasks. OG fans get familiar faces defending their legacy, while NewG supporters back the newer names. The promise from the creative team is simple: expect the unexpected in season 21.
