The long-awaited

Indian Idol Season 15

grand finale has been rescheduled by a week and will now take place on April 5 and 6. The host, Aditya Narayan, made this announcement in a video that was uploaded to Sony Entertainment Television's official Instagram handle.
In the promo video, Aditya jokingly asks about the missing top six finalists, the music band, and the judges. Judges Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Badshah look confused. The action turns around when actress Neelam Kothari and singer Sukhwinder Singh walk in with the finalists, indicating a celebration of music prior to announcing the winner. Sukhwinder then revives the crowd with his signature "Chaiyya Chaiyya," followed by Shreya's soulful performance of "Jaadu Hai Nasha."
The top six contenders vying for the prestigious title are- Chaitanya Devadhe (Mauli), Sneha Shankar, Subhajit Chakraborty, Priyangshu Dutta, Manasi Ghosh and Anirudh Suswaram. Most importantly, West Bengal has a robust representation with three finalists from the state. Manasi Ghosh, 24, a professional singer from Kolkata, has mesmerized people with her unique style.
Subhajit Chakraborty, 22, from Kharagpur, has moved from being a paan-seller to a national icon with his soulful voice. Priyangshu Dutta, 21, from Kolkata, has been impressing consistently with his energetic performances.

The finale delay is a result of the huge popularity of the show. Producers want to provide a better, more elaborate finale with special guests and performances. Die-hard fans are eagerly waiting for the longer finale, looking forward to an elaborate celebration of music and talent as Indian Idol Season 15 reaches its conclusion.
