Rithvik Dhanjani's "I can do attitude"

From acting to dancing and hosting shows, Rithvik Dhanjani packs a punch. And, now he is all set to step out of his comfort zone, and show his ‘can-do attitude’ on Zee TV’s upcoming show I Can Do That, an Indian adaptation of international TV show of the same name that is already popular in countries like the US, Italy, Israel, Russia and Bulgaria.​

In Chandigarh on Tuesday to talk about the show that will go on air from October 17, Rithvik says, “Unlike many stunt-based non-fiction shows, I Can Do That is a completely different format…It is a skilled based show that calls for professional training for the acts to be performed on stage.”

Elaborating further, he states, “From magical acts to acrobats and stunts, 12 celebrities from across different fields will be seen doing tasks that they have never done before. The elimination will on the basis of voting. Interestingly, only the studio audience will vote and decide which act gets eliminated.”

Though high on risk of injuries, Rithvik is excited to be a part of the show. “When I was approached for I Can Do That, I immediately gave a nod for it, because one doesn’t always get opportunities to challenge limits and fight fears… I am looking forward to have a great time on the show.”

Hopeful to emerge a winner, he admits to strong competition on the show. “Madhurima Tuli is a strong contender. Even Bani and Gauahar Khan are quite good.” The other celebrities participating in the show are Dino Morea, Gurmeet Choudhary, Mandira Bedi, Andy, Shibani Dandekar, Meiyang Chang, Ranveer Brar, and Bharti Singh.

Other than I Can Do That, Rithvik shares that he is soon be a part of another show on Zee TV. He doesn’t reveal any further, but adds that he is waiting for the right story before foraying back in the fictional space on tele

vision. “If given an opportunity, I would love to play Sherlock Holmes,” he says.

Probe him if acting is what he always wanted to do, and actor who has won viewers’ heart with shows like Pyaar Kii Ek Kahaani, Pavitra Rishta, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, and Nach Baliye, says, “I just wanted to be an entertainer.”

Having cemented his place on the small screen, Rithvik is looking forward to etch a space for himself on the big screen soon. And yes, he believes in going by the script and not the role. “If the script is good, even a small role can​ be a memorable one,” he says signing off.
