MUMBAI: The much acclaimed television presenter Rajat Sharma's trademark show Aap Ki Adalat, which has featured more than 400 guests in its earlier spell, returns on India TV.

Armed with a new look, the revamped show re-inaguarates itself on 15 August at 10 am.

Commenting on the re-launch of the show, Rajat Sharma says: "Aap ki Adalat was never conceived merely as an interview programme. It is a mission, a mission to expose the truth from behind the closed doors in the corridors of power. It was about making public figures accountable and voicing the concerns of the common man. This is what I believe endeared the show to the audience."
"Laloo Prasad Yadav, will be the first guest to grace the show in its return spell, answering a volley of questions lobbed by the host and the members of the audience," he informed.

A multicamera studio equipped with computer-controlled lighting has been specially designed for Aap ki Adalat. Also, the studio designed to accommodate the vast audiences of Aap ki Adalat for the show boasts of the largest television studio floor in Asia.

The new-look set is designed by the legendary Nitin Desai (of Devdas fame) and sports a new digitalized lighting arrangement executed by the noted cinematographer Ashok Mehta.

Yadav will be seen reacting to the charge that he pipped Ram Vilas Paswan to the post by grabbing the Railway ministry which the latter wanted desperately. "It was not my first choice. I accepted it rather reluctantly", he tells the audience on the programme.
