Recently at an event, while interacting with media Shankar Mahadevan said, "This show is very special because of its LIVE concept. The speciality of the show is that there is no age limit. I have been mesmerized by the talent on Rising Star in the past seasons and I am sure this year too we will witness some exceptional talent. Whenever Colors and Optimystix work together they create wonders."

"I am super excited to be a part of Rising Star because of its unique concept. The live voting process that lifts the wall between the contestants and the audience is quite exciting as it happens real time. I feel every deserving talent should be encouraged and that's what my role would be on the show. This is my first live reality show and I can’t wait for this journey to begin", added Neeti Mohan.

Producer Vipul D Shah of Optimystix Pvt Ltd, said, “This show follows the mechanism of a Israel show’s format wherein a team of 40 people work together to crunch the votes of the audience on the spot (LIVE). It is first of it’s kind technology. The Indian audience has overwhelmed us with the love they have showered on Rising Star in the first two seasons. Our concentration in this season is of course, the mass support of the public via live voting. It is the audience who has the power to pave the path of success and opportunities for our talented singers”.
