EXCLUSIVE: Suniel Shetty is pleased with Bharat Ke Super Founders benefitting India as Season 2 gears up; says, “I am an obsessive Indian, the country means a hell of a lot to me”
Suniel Shetty is gearing up for the second season of his business reality and start up pitch show Bharat Ke Super Founders, which will stream on Amazon MX Player and Prime Video soon. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, the veteran actor expressed his excitement for the second season.
When asked what can we expect from Season 2, Shetty said, “Lots of funding and unbelievable founders (from) deep tech, agriculture, AI, FMCG, edu-tech, etc. It’s crazy! We got over three-four thousand entries.”
Elaborating on the same, he added, “Season 2 will show you how big these very ideas have grown. Whenever you see success stories, it is when people start believing in something. I think Season 1 was just a teaser. Season 2 will be the trailer. Uske baad jo kuchh bhi hoga woh film hi hogi, hopefully a Dhurandhar. You want the kids and these founders to do well. I am not seeing them as billionaires or unicorns. I am seeing them as millionaires who give jobs to hundreds of people in their own little towns that they have started from.”
Shetty said that what makes the show special is that it is about the dreamers of interior India. “If we can give them wings, nothing like it,” he said. “Not everyone starts from the same place but everyone deserves a fair shot. Big town guys always get an opportunity but here any kid who has got an idea and a dream can come and his dream can be fulfilled.”
Sharing his takeaway as a host of Bharat Ke Super Founders, Suniel Shetty said, “Things don’t only happen in the cities. They happen in smaller towns too (where there are) bigger and greater ideas, humble personalities, honesty, zero arrogance. Venture capitalists who are looking at India and only India. They are obsessed with India, which is a huge high. I am an obsessive Indian. For me, the country means a hell of a lot! I am so happy that these things are happening in India.”
