MUMBAI: India’s leading Hindi-language general-entertainment channel, Star Plus, is launching its own version of Moment of Truth next week, called Sach Ka Saamna.

The show premieres July 15 and will air Monday to Friday at 10:30 p.m. The contestant who can answer all 20 questions posed honestly will walk away with Rs. 1 crore ($205,000).

Commenting on the launch of the show, Keertan Adyanthaya, the general manager and executive VP of Star Plus, stated: “In this extremely competitive landscape, it’s always been our effort to introduce programming that challenges convention. Sach Ka Saamna is the effort of this continuing journey that will charter a new era of programming. We salute the bravery and courage of our participants to face the truth paving the way for more people to be honest and look at new beginnings.”
