BENGALURU: Star India’s Malayalam GEC Asianet is all set to start airing season 4 of the Malayalam version of the popular game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? or Ningalkkum Aakam Kodeeswaran (NAK) from 9 January 2016 onward at the 930 pm primetime slot from Monday to Thursday. The one hour show will be anchored once again by Mollywood anchor Suresh Gopi. Asianet and Big Synergy Media Limited are the show producers.

NAK replaces two thirty minute fiction shows Kavacham and Vellanakalude Nadu. The channel has roped in Nestle India Limited’s coated wafer brand Munch as title sponsor and is powered by Vivo phones. NAK season 4 will be co-presented by realty player Asset Homes; Jewellery brands Josco, Chungath; and Ayurmix.

The game show will test the competence of the participants in general knowledge, current affairs and all the major fields of knowledge. The preliminary round had participants vying for opportunity to attend the phone-in, written test and interview. The finalists can join the anchor in the hot seat and try their luck in the 15 rounds of the game. Like last year, the prize money for a contestant who successfully answers all the 15 questions is Rs one crore.

The finalists play a ‘Fastest Finger First’ round to make it to the main game. From there on, they play rounds with increasing levels of difficulty, and winning higher amounts of money, culminating in the Rs one crore prize. Contestants can stop at any time after having viewed the next question.
