Veteran music composer Anu Malik will reportedly be reinstated as a judge on reality TV show Indian Idol. According to SpotboyE, sources close to the show have claimed that the singer is in talks with Sony and may appear on season 11.

Malik stepped down from Indian Idol in October last year following allegations of sexual harassment. Sony Entertainment Television put out a statement saying: “Anu Malik is no longer a part of Indian Idol jury panel. The show will continue its planned schedule & we'll invite some of the biggest names in Indian music as guests to join Vishal [Dadlani] and Neha [Kakkar] to judge extraordinary talent of Indian Idol season 10." He was eventually replaced by playback singer Javed Ali.
