While the channel is trying hard to get more registrations, by including previous winners in its promotional campaigns, it is yet to finalise its judges. So far, Anu Malik is the only one signed up as a judge for the show.

Meanwhile, producers Miditech have now made way for Wizcraft on Sony's insistence. Miditech had produced the first four seasons of Indian Idol.
