The participants receive difficult tasks to complete to become a roadie. Only people of 18 and over are allowed to participate in the show. Season 4, with the theme of Season of Survival, followed the former format of MTV Roadies. Well known TV host and personality Suraj Singh Thakuri replaced Raymon Das Shrestha as the host of the show in season 5. The fifth season is titled "Power of five". In previous seasons there were four gang leaders, namely Anoop Bikram Shahi, Saman Shrestha (Extreme Athlete), Deeya Maskey and Ashish Rana, a.k.a. Laure. However, from the fifth season, actress Priyanka Karki will replace Saman Shrestha as gang leader, whereas other leaders will remain intact in their respective positions. The show was previously directed by Aman Pratap Adhikari but director and producer Simosh Sunwar has directed it from the fourth season onwards.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
