Ekta Kapoor:superstars of tomorrow.

Now the reality can be revealed. Even as Ekta Kapoor enters the cluttured realm of reality shows with Kissko Milega Ticket To Bollywood on the fledgling channel 9 X, she's already working on her second reality show, this one on Sony.

According to a source, television czarina is now working on a reality show called Gharwali Baharwali.

"It'll feature tv stars dancing with their reel and real partners. For example Ronit Roy will be seen waltzing with his wife Neelam and with his screen wife Tulsi (Smriti Irani) from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Tthi.

The idea is to bring the lives of tv stars to the audience in a way that takes them away and brings them closer to the soaps that they are famous for," says a source.

In the meanwhile preparations for Kissko Milega Ticket To Bollywood are on full swiing.

It's finally been decided that the two wannabes superstars selected from this reality show will work in Ekta-Balajee's 70-crore rupee project directed by Apoorva Lakhia.

Says Ekta, "The film will be called Generation Next. And it will feature the two talents from our show Kissko Milega Bollywood…who we feel are going to be the superstars of tomorrow.

Obviously we've to have top-of-the-line talent emerging from the show otherwise we wouldn't feature them in a film budgeted at 70 crores."

The lineup of mentors on Kissko Milega Bollywood Ka Ticket is yet to be decided. But the buzz is that Ekta has roped in old friends Shabana Azmi and Shatrughan Sinha along with Jackie Shroff, Kirron Kher and Mahesh Manjrekar.

Preparing on Wednesday for a flash-visit to Malaysia for business negotiations Ekta said, "Stepping into reality tv is one of the many new things Balajee is doing this year."
