Writer and poet extraordinaire, Javed Akhtar who completes the elite Jury Panel says, “It’s great to work with A.R, Rahman on a platform where entertainment is mixed with a cause. What I like about Mission Ustaad is that despite having scaled ladder of success, these well known singers have come forward to participate in the show as contestants without any airs about themselves. I wish them good luck – may the best pair win”.

The 4 pairs of Jodis on mission will sing popular as well as specially composed songs based on MDGs specified themes; the Jodis will also present their justification for the songs and the compositions they have selected to sing. The Jodis will be judged by the audience as well as the 3 eminent Jury members, and the Jodi to get the maximum votes on a particular week will be crowned Jodi of the Week.
