Ashneer Grover is set to host the explosive reality show Rise & Fall, where 16 celebrities including Arjun Bijlani, Dhanashree Verma, Kubbra Sait, and Kiku Sharda battle in a unique power struggle.
Amazon MX Player has unveiled the much-awaited promo for its upcoming unscripted reality series Rise & Fall, and it promises a cocktail of drama, strategy, and raw emotion. Produced by Banijay Asia, the show premieres September 6, 2025, streaming free on Amazon MX Player across mobile, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xtreme.
Ashneer Grover Steps In As Host
Making his hosting debut, entrepreneur Ashneer Grover didn’t hold back his excitement, “Rise & Fall is amongst the most captivating reality show concepts worldwide. Being a follower of reality shows, I think the division of contestants into haves and have nots brings a never experienced before dimension to reality shows in India. What excites me the most is the show’s unpredictability, where power flips in seconds and no one can guess who’ll be on top tomorrow. The clashes, the hustle, and the drama make it unmissable. Hosting this show is like sitting front row to the biggest power game India has ever seen, and trust me, viewers are not ready for what’s coming.”
Rulers vs Workers: The Format
The promo establishes the stark divide between the Rulers, who enjoy luxury in a penthouse, and the Workers, who fight it out in a bare-basics basement. The tagline says it all, “16 contestants. Two worlds. One ultimate power struggle.” Expect broken trust, shifting alliances, and shocking reversals where “those below rise and those above fall.”
Celebrities Confirmed
The lineup brings together 16 familiar faces, with the promo confirming a few:
Arjun Bijlani: “I’ve hosted, I’ve acted, but nothing prepares you for a show like this. It is a completely new ballgame. Rise & Fall is raw and real — there’s no hiding behind a character. Every choice you make can push you to the penthouse or drop you to the basement. That unpredictability is what hooked me.”
Dhanashree Verma: “The contrast between the Rulers and Workers is so striking. As someone who’s built her journey step by step, I connected instantly with the hustler spirit. This show challenges you not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Kubbra Sait: stepping in fearless and outspoken.
Kiku Sharda: “People usually see me making them laugh, but here, laughter comes with strategy, survival, and sometimes even tears. Rise & Fall is tough. You have to outwit, outplay, and outlast. Let’s see if I survive here without losing my humour. I’d count that as a win.”
Makers on What Sets Rise & Fall Apart
Amogh Dusad, Head of Content at Amazon MX Player, underlined the social experiment angle, “At Amazon MX Player, we’ve always strived to bring bold, disruptive formats that resonate with India’s diverse audiences. The show is a powerful social experiment that mirrors the real-world stark contrast between the powerful and powerless. It’s high-stakes, unpredictable, and emotionally charged. And with Ashneer Grover at the helm, viewers can expect an unfiltered, thoroughly entertaining experience that is both uniquely Indian and universally relatable.”
Deepak Dhar, Founder & Group CEO, Banijay Asia & Endemol Shine India, added, “Rise & Fall is not just another reality show, it’s a bold social experiment that challenges power and privilege. With a diverse mix of celebrity contestants, shifting dynamics, and unpredictable human behavior, the format promises unmatched drama and intensity. And with Ashneer Grover leading the charge, the show will push the boundaries of unscripted entertainment, offering viewers a refreshing new lens on reality television.”
When and Where to Watch
The ultimate game of power begins September 6, 2025, with episodes streaming free every day for 42 days on Amazon MX Player.
Between its eclectic celebrity cast, the bold social experiment, and Grover’s unfiltered hosting style, Rise & Fall is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about reality shows of the year.
