As the confused judges Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, and Badshah wonder where the contestants are, Bollywood actress Neelam Kothari and singer Sukhwinder Singh make a grand entrance, bringing the finalists with them.

Sukhwinder says, “The finale cannot take place,” Neelam tells the judges. “Let us celebrate music. We want to hear more songs.” The teaser continues with Sukhwinder Singh performing his famous track Chaiyya Chaiyya, and Shreya Ghoshal putting a new twist on Jaadu Hai Nasha.

The promo wraps up with Aditya Narayan revealing that the grand finale of Indian Idol Season 15 will now take place a week later.
