Zee TV has proven time and&nbsp;again that it understands children like no one else does! The kids talent&nbsp;hunt show, &#8216;India&#8217;s Best Dramebaaz&#8217;, does naturally  hold a lot of promise!<\/p>\n<p>And who better to judge the kids on their histrionic skills than popular&nbsp;actors Vivek Oberoi, Sonali Bendre and the much celebrated film-maker Anurag&nbsp;Basu? Fans of the Saathiya heartthrob will be delighted to know that the&nbsp;show marks Vivek&#8217;s debut on television and the actor is very excited about<br \/>the same.

It&#8217;s my first&nbsp;time on Zee TV and the show presents a win-win situation for me . I just&nbsp;love kids. I&#8217;m glad that India&#8217;s Best Dramebaaz provides an atmosphere that<\/div>\n<div>\nputs children at ease, allows them to come into their own and be themselves.&nbsp;The kind of talent we have seen so far is overwhelming . they&#8217;re such cute&nbsp;kids and they talk so much especially when they speak about their parents&nbsp;their innocence is adorable and is bound to tug at one&#8217;s heartstrings!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So what is it that the judges are looking for? Anurag said, &#8220;The format is&nbsp;new and a first on Indian television. I have worked with Zee TV before and&nbsp;it is difficult for me to turn down their offer. I am also selfish as I only&nbsp;do things from where I can take something back. With &#8216;India&#8217;s Best&nbsp;Dramebaaz&#8217;, I am getting an opportunity to interact with so many talented&nbsp;children. We are not saying that we will create future superstars here. Our&nbsp;main objective will be to bring out the spontaneity of the kids where they&nbsp;will perform without being conscious. That is why apart from watching their&nbsp;performances, I am spending time with them personally to understand their&nbsp;creativity. I think naughty, mischievous kids will do better in this space!&nbsp;As a director, I will look into the technical aspects of every act and guide<br \/>the contestants in that regard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sonali Bendre and Anurag Basu announced the launch of India&#8217;s Best Dramebaaz&nbsp;at the recently held Zee Cine Awards 2013 in Mumbai.
