The show to be telecast shortly saw its birth on a concept, mooted by Secretary Defence Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa who held the view that hundreds of battle-fatigued servicemen who sweated day and night deserve a full-fledged rest, recreation and entertainment after absence of so many years.    

Thousands of service personnel have already opted to compete in the first rounds of audition.
