Dubai-based entrepreneur Pritesh Patel & Alpesh Patel is bringing global attention to the city’s rapidly expanding entertainment landscape with the launch of an international reality show titled The UAE Rockstar. Known for his growing involvement in the creative industry through AP Production, Patel sees the project as a defining step toward positioning Dubai as a serious destination for large-scale music and performance-based content. His vision goes beyond hosting a television show—it reflects a broader ambition to give emerging talent a world-class stage rooted in Dubai.
Directed by noted Bollywood filmmaker Dushyant Pratap Singh, The UAE Rockstar will focus on music and dance, blending artistic expression with international production standards. The show is designed to attract participants from diverse backgrounds, offering them exposure to a global audience while performing in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. Under Pritesh Patel’s leadership, the project aims to combine creative excellence with strong organizational planning.
The competition will be conducted in two categories—Junior Group and Senior Group, ensuring opportunities for talent across age groups. Participants will compete in both singing and dancing, making the format inclusive and performance-driven. This structure, according to those associated with the show, is intended to nurture versatility and originality rather than limiting contestants to a single skill.
A standout feature of The UAE Rockstar is its emphasis on original music. Every selected participant will perform a private, original song, specially composed for them by a well-known Bollywood music composer. This unique element sets the show apart from conventional reality formats and aligns with Pritesh Patel’s belief that true talent deserves original creative expression rather than imitation.
The official announcement of The UAE Rockstar is scheduled for the second week of January, with the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, and Grand Finale planned between the first week of March and the second week of April. With this ambitious timeline and a clear creative vision, Pritesh Patel’s initiative is expected to play a significant role in strengthening Dubai’s identity as a rising global hub for entertainment and talent-driven content.
