Koti and S. P. Sailaja returned as the judges from the previous season with Smita making her comeback to television after Dance with Me[5] and Ananta Sriram making his debut in the television as judge.[6] Initially M. M. Srilekha was roped in as a judge, which marked her return to the show after a long time. As she is suffered from COVID-19 pandemic, S. P. Sailaja replaced her as one of the judges.[7] D.
