Wheel of Fortune India is an Indian Hindi-language television game show based on the American television format Wheel of Fortune. The series is produced by Frames Production Company and is being broadcast on Sony Entertainment Television. Actor Akshay Kumar serves as the host of the programme.
The programme marks the entry of the Wheel of Fortune franchise into Indian television and adapts the original format for Indian audiences.
Wheel of Fortune India follows the core format of the international franchise, using the UK version's rule set. Contestants spin a large wheel to determine cash values and attempt to solve word puzzles by guessing letters. Correct guesses allow contestants to accumulate winnings, while incorrect spins may result in penalties such as loss of turn or loss of accumulated amounts.
The Indian adaptation features Hindi-language puzzles and culturally relevant categories while retaining the structure of the original format.
Sony Pictures Networks India acquired the Indian adaptation rights to Wheel of Fortune from the format owners and commissioned Frames Production Company to produce the series.
Akshay Kumar was announced as the host ahead of the programme's premiere.
Wheel of Fortune India is scheduled to premiere on 27 January 2026 on Sony Entertainment Television. Episodes will also be made available on SonyLIV, the network's digital streaming platform.
