About The 50
The 50 is the Indian adaptation of the popular French reality series Les Cinquante. Filmed in a grand palace-like setting, the show brings together 50 contestants under one roof. With no fixed rules, participants must rely on alliances, mind games, and strategy to survive. The game is overseen by a mysterious authority figure known only as The Lion, who controls key decisions from the Lion’s Den, an elevated command center overlooking the set.
Ajay Devgn, Elvish Yadav and…
Buzz around the show has intensified following the release of a promo featuring Bollywood star Ajay Devgn. The clip shows Devgn, famously known as Singham, reacting to calls about the show. Humorously, he dismisses the rumours, saying, “Chote mote pranks kar sakta hoon, par ye show kaafi controversial lag raha hai” (I can pull small pranks, but this show looks quite controversial). He continues jokingly, striking his iconic pose: “Main vardi wala Lion hoon” (I am the lion in uniform), before laughing, “Main 5 logon ki party mein bhi nahi jaata” (I don’t even go to a party of five people). He concludes, “Last time bol raha hoon, main The 50 ka Lion nahi hoon” (I am saying it for the last time, I am not The 50’s Lion).

Speculation is rife about the identity of The Lion. Abhishek Malhan, aka Fukra Insaan, and YouTuber Elvish Yadav are considered frontrunners. Abhishek was recently spotted wearing a jacket featuring The 50’s lion mascot, while fans speculate Elvish’s persona and style could suit the role. No official announcement has been made.
