Big news: Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, hosted by Rohit Shetty, is officially **postponed—not cancelled—and now expected to premiere in January 2026. The rumors of cancellation have been cleared by several recent reports confirming the show’s return next year
Why Was KKK15 Postponed?
The primary reason for the delay is a fallout between the original producer Banijay Asia (formerly Endemol Shine) and Colors TV, especially over budgeting demands and scheduling disagreements
Even though Colors TV was open to a later broadcast, Banijay reportedly opposed the changes and eventually exited the show. The logistical complexity of staging KKK15 and host Rohit Shetty’s film commitments further complicated matters, putting the production on hold for now
However, industry insiders suggest discussions are ongoing with a new production partner, raising hopes that the show will proceed in late 2025 and air in January 2026
Rohit Shetty Is Back as Host
Despite the production turbulence, Rohit Shetty is expected to return as the host—consistent with his role since Season 5. All recent media updates confirm his continued involvement in the upcoming season
His presence ensures continuity and maintains viewer confidence in the show’s format and style.
