'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi' is an Indian stunt reality game show based on the popular American show called 'Fear Factor'.
The desi version of the international action-based game show 'Fear Factor' had been hunting for a celebrity host for the past two years. After the last season hosted by Akshay in 2010, the makers of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' had to delay the show for want of a celebrity face.
Even though there were reports that they zeroed in on actor Ajay Devgn, things did not work out.
"I was offered it. I was approached for the show. But I was waiting for 'Commando' to release... It is a fabulous show," Vidyut told PTI without revealing whether he accepted the offer or not.

In 2008, Akshay hosted the show and continued to do it for the next season. For the third season actress Priyanka Chopra was roped in. However, Akshay returned to host it for the fourth season.
"Akshay did a fantastic job, he is the real 'Khiladi' and will remain so. There is no other khiladi other than him. No one can replace him. He should do it," Vidyut said.
"I have started shooting for 'Bullet Raja'. It is a small role. It is a guest appearance. I play a cop, who is a sharp shooter. I am happy to be part of the film," he said.
There are reports that given his martial arts background, Vidyut will design his own stunts in the film.
