The grand finale will run for 12 hours LIVE on Sunday. The cast and crew along with the 6 finalists have been shooting for the episode that will mark the new era of reality TV. In a press meet, Sony TV’s programming head Ashish Golwalkar said, "It is a pressure situation. You have to programme 12 hours straight and so it means you have to shoot 3 weeks of content in one go. It is maddening for the editing team, music team, costume team and every other department. But it is also exciting. Like I said, it has never been done before. Maybe this is will mark a new era in reality TV. Coincidentally, this 15th August marks India’s 75th year of independence and Indian Idol will also be programming its 75th episode. This is also the longest running season of Idol. We are aiming for newer records this time around so the benchmarks will be higher for next year."

Lately, Anu Malik, Sonu Kakkar and Himesh Reshammiya have been guiding the contestants on their journey.
Indian Idol 12 is anchored by Aditya Narayan. Bollywood stars Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani will be seen gracing the last episode for the promotion of their film Shershaah.
