The new reality show The Traitors, streaming on Prime Video, has quickly captured viewers’ attention. Among the contestants is actor Arjun Kapoor’s sister Anshula Kapoor, who recently addressed a wave of DMs asking if the show is scripted. Here’s what the content creator said.
On Tuesday, Anshula posted on Instagram, “Is The Traitors scripted? How can this be the number one DM in my DMs right now? Traitors is not scripted. There was not 1% of a script given to any of the 20 participants of this show. First, let’s start with everything that went down to get us to start filming that first episode. There was so much secrecy.”
“We weren’t told who our fellow participants would be. When we were flying from Bombay also to shoot for this, I think Elnaz, Ashish ji, Sufi, and Jannat were on my flight. To keep it as secret as possible, even during the check-in process at the airport, we were given different slots. We were given a shadow—our own personal valet,” she continued.
Anshula mentioned that the makers segregated 20 participants into two different groups, residing in different hotels. Two days post the filming, they were escorted to Jodhpur- Jaisalmer. “And at this hotel, while we were getting checked in, they literally were like, ‘You will have your phone for like three hours, and then tonight somebody’s going to come.’ Not just phones, but they took all the electronic equipment. It was all about isolation, because they didn’t want us to form alliances outside the show.”
Anshul stated that every episode was about an hour long, however the crew shot for 16 to 18 hours at a stretch a day. The show is the Indian adaptation of the global reality show, co-produced by BBC Studios India and All3Media International.
It Stars Jannat Zubair, Uorfi Javed, Maheep and Anshula Kapoor, Raftaar, Apoorva Mukhija, Sufi Motiwala, Elnaz, Purav Jha, Ashish Vidyarthi, Jasmine Bhasin and Other. The show is Avilable on Prime Video, and new episodes arrives every thursday a 8 pm.
