With the launch of The 50 just days away, curiosity around the show’s most mysterious character — the Lion — has reached peak levels. The upcoming reality series, hosted by Farah Khan, has positioned the Lion as a central authority figure who will control the rules, twists, and power shifts inside the game.
A recently released promo featuring Ajay Devgn only added fuel to the speculation, with fans convinced that the Bollywood star could be the voice — or face — behind the Lion.
Ajay Devgn’s Promo Sparks, Then Shuts Down Theories
In the promo, Ajay Devgn is seen casually watching a teaser of The 50 on television when his phone starts buzzing nonstop. Friends and acquaintances repeatedly call him, asking the same question — “Are you The 50 ka Lion?”
Ajay responds with his trademark dry humour, brushing off each assumption. “Nahi yaar, main nahi hoon The 50 ka Lion,” he says, making it clear he has nothing to do with the mysterious role. He even jokes that while he enjoys pulling small pranks, the show looks “too controversial” for him to be involved in that way.
The actor then delivers a clever punchline by striking his iconic Singham pose and quipping, “Main vardi wala Lion hoon,” reminding viewers of his cop image rather than any reality show gimmick. He further adds that he doesn’t even attend parties with five people — handling fifty contestants, he jokes, is definitely not his thing.
Before the clip ends, Ajay firmly repeats one last time that he is not the Lion of The 50.
Just a Promo, Not a Reveal
Despite the strong buzz, the makers have made it clear that Ajay Devgn’s appearance is purely promotional — designed to stir curiosity and conversation ahead of the show’s premiere. The real identity of the Lion remains under wraps, keeping audiences guessing.
When and Where to Watch The 50
The 50 is set to premiere on Colors TV and Jio Hotstar on Sunday, February 1, 2026. The show will air at 10:30 PM on Colors TV, while streaming viewers can catch it earlier at 9 PM on Jio Hotstar.
Confirmed contestants so far include Karan Patel, Faisal Shaikh, Divya Agarwal, Shiny Doshi, Monalisa & Vikrant, Dushyant Kukreja, Rudra Rana, and Chai.
What Makes The 50 Different?
Inspired by the French hit reality series Les Cinquante, The 50 brings together contestants from diverse backgrounds in a lavish, palace-like setting. Unlike traditional reality shows with predictable eliminations, this format thrives on strategy, shifting power dynamics, and psychological gameplay.
At the heart of it all is the Lion — a mysterious figure symbolising control, authority, and unpredictability — making the question of its identity one of the show’s biggest hooks.
Final Words
Ajay Devgn may not be The 50’s Lion, but his witty promo has successfully amplified excitement around the show. With Farah Khan at the helm, a unique format, and a secretive central character pulling the strings, The 50 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about reality launches of the year.
And until the Lion finally reveals itself, the guessing game is only going to get louder.
