In partnership with SMS GupShup, the winner of Season 1 of IPL had recently launched a mobile community. Now, taking it forward, the franchise has introduced a slew of contests for the team’s fans. Though the contests will be run nationwide, they will have a special thrust in Rajasthan and Gujarat, which is the catchment area of the team.
The franchise has kick-started contests such as Royals Diva, Kaptano Ke Kaptan, Boundary Ke Baadshah, Toss ka Boss and Googly-Shugly.
Royals Diva will give an opportunity to our fans to be a part of the Royals family on a personal level. Shilpa, who is a strategic business partner, will be a part of the off-field activities and provide her creative inputs to the innovations in the team.
Royals Diva is a nationwide hunt, whereas the remaining contests focus on fans in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Some contests have terms and conditions such as age limits and limitations on the number of winners. For example, in Toss Ka Boss, only one winner will be selected per match.
Kaptano ke Kaptan is a hunt for the official off-the-field cheerleading team. About 105 off-the-field cheerleaders will be selected from Rajasthan and Gujarat, who are also the members of the Royal Lions Club. “They will not dance on the fields but they will sit in the captain’s lounge and wear the T-shirts of Rajasthan Royals,” informs Utkarsh.
About 140 ball boys in the age group of 12 -16 years will be selected for the Boundary ke Baadshah contest. In each match, 20 boys will get a chance to catch the ball whenever a RR player hits a boundary. The Toss ka Boss winner will get a chance to accompany Shane Warne for the toss before the matches. The participants for this contest will be in the 6-10 years age group, who will be selected from various schools in Rajasthan and Gujarat, based on their performances in the activities conducted in the schools.
Googly-Shugly, which is a trivia contest on radio, will hand out about 150 tickets of the RR matches to the callers who correctly answer six rapid-fire questions on the team.

Those who of you fed up of silly, mediocre reality shows, rejoice! You can look forward to The Big Band reality show that will be hosted by AR Rahman on Doordarshan, starting early December 2008.
Bands from seven countries will participate in the The Big Band reality show - India, Nepal, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
We have seen so many reality shows on the television. But what makes it different is that the show is not all about India alone, we have the idea of providing a common platform for all these guys from various places.
The Big Band is a unique stage that will give local bands a chance to dive deep into their true artistic depth and create original music, which transcends language and that is universally accessible. We want to present to India and the world at large the story behind what forms and binds a band and how they can be mentored to become world class talent.
In another departure from typical reality shows, the Big Band show will do away with the SMS voting format and guest Celebrity judges, inviting laypersons like homemakers and young people to judge the show.
The Big Band show will be aired in the prime time slot by Doordarshan.

The third tune that the bands participating in The Big Band Show must submit, should be an original composition.
The competing bands that are short listed will be called to take part in the first audition stage where they will be given a choice of three tunes by the judges, one of which they will have to perform.
The format of the Big Band reality show
The Big Band reality show will showcase Rahman’s travel through 15 states in India, scouring for original talent. The reality show series aims to find a few bands from across the sub-continent and nurture talent across different genres.
