Mumbai | Bollywood actor-producer Arbaaz Khan on Thursday said he is set to host “The Invincibles”, a new chat show featuring some of the legends of Hindi cinema.

Billed as a "nostalgia trip", the upcoming six-part chat series will fete industry veterans, including his father, celebrated writer Salim Khan and his stepmother, actor Helen as well as writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar, veteran stars Waheeda Rahman, Shatrughan Sinha and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.

"Cinema is evergreen and I wanted to create a series that evokes nostalgia. Quite often, I have this fear that the stories we've grown up listening to will get lost if we don't document them.

"This is my attempt at playing a biographer for an industry that I have seen up close and personal. I want to chronicle the legendary stories and celebrate the people who've created gold in the process,” Arbaaz, who also serves as a host on celebrity show “Pinch”, said in a statement.

The first episode, starring Salim Khan, will premiere tomorrow on an entertainment portal with new episodes airing every Friday.
