## Production

[edit]

In the Ramadan season of 2020, the show's format was changed in light of the coronavirus pandemic and the studio audience was eliminated. Instead, a "league"-based format was introduced where teams representing five major cities would compete against each other, with each team led by a notable celebrity. New contestants would be drawn for each episode while maintaining social distancing, and the top two teams with most points would qualify for a final play-off. Members of the public would be able to participate in the show through live calls.[5]

In 2021, 6th team was announced as Multan Tigers for the city Multan. Shoaib Malik was selected as a captain of Multan Tigers team.[6] Aijaz Aslam was replaced by Sarfraz Ahmed as the captain of Quetta Knights team as Sarfraz Ahmed was busy in Pakistan vs South Africa ODI series.[7]

In 2022, Ushna Shah joined the game show as Karachi Lions Captain replacing Humayun Saeed. Sarfraz Ahmed rejoined the league after 2020 for Quetta Knights team. 7th team was announced as Gujranwala Bulls for the city Gujranwala. Aijaz Aslam, who was Quetta Knights captain in 2021, was selected as a captain of Gujranwala Bulls.[citation needed]

## Controversy

[edit]

In 2020, Few days after the show started on-air, the video of Siddiqui goes viral where he was seen misbehaving with rival team captain Sarfaraz Ahmed. Many people and celebrities criticized Siddiqui and called the act disrespectful.[8] In the later episode, Siddiqui apologises to Ahmed and his fans saying he didn't mean it. Following his apology both Ahmed and Mustafa told him it's all good and no apologies were required to begin with.[9]
