Mumbai, April 14

After a successful debut, Rusk Media is back with the second season of "Battleground" on Amazon MX Player.

This time the mentors are - Abhishek Malhan for Delhi Dominators, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary for Mumbai Strikers, and Rahul Chaudhary for Telugu Tigers. At the helm once again is Supermentor Shikhar Dhawan, bringing experience and edge to the competition.

Split into four teams, 16 contestants will face relentless physical and mental challenges. They will be given daily tasks that will test their consistency, along with the high-voltage 'Fight Club Weekend' face-offs that will decide eliminations. In the end, only one male and one female contestant will claim the title of India's 'ultimate Fitness Star'.

Spilling his excitement, Shikhar Dhawan said, "Season 1 proved us the kind of passion and potential this format brings out, and I'm excited to be back for an even bigger Season 2. This time, the bar is higher, the challenges tougher, and the journey more demanding. What excites me most is seeing contestants discover what they are truly capable of."

Abhishek Malhan, who took the trophy home in Season 1, shared, "Winning the first season gave me a real understanding of what it takes to succeed in this format, from building the right strategy to handling pressure at every stage. Stepping back into the game, my focus is on guiding my team with that experience."

Talking about resilience, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary said, "Battleground tests you in ways you don't expect. It's not just strength, it's resilience, belief, and staying steady when things get tough. That's the mindset my team is bringing into every task. It's going to be a ride."

Produced by Rusk Media, "Battleground Season 2" is set to premiere on April 17.

So happy to see Priyanka Chahar Choudhary as a mentor! She has that never-give-up attitude. Rooting for Mumbai Strikers! The 'Fight Club Weekend' sounds intense. Hope the show inspires more young people, especially girls, to take fitness seriously.

Season 1 was quite good. Abhishek Malhan moving from winner to mentor is a smart move—he knows the game inside out. But I hope they don't make it too much like other reality shows with unnecessary conflicts. Let the physical battles do the talking.

Interesting format with separate male and female winners. That's a good way to ensure fair competition. The daily task concept sounds grueling but that's what separates the best. Will be tuning in on the 17th!

Good to see Indian OTT platforms creating original sports-based content. Rusk Media is doing well. Hope the production quality is high. Also, hoping for contestants from smaller towns, not just Mumbai and Delhi. Jai Hind! 💪

While I appreciate the concept, I hope they don't glorify pushing people to injury for entertainment. Fitness should be about health, not just brutal competition. The mentors must ensure safety first. Otherwise, best of luck to all contestants!
