Rannvijay was not the winner of Roadies 1. VJ Cyrus Sahukar came in four times at specific points. The first journey was from Chennai to Chail, because it was initially supposed to happen around the 2003 World Cup and Chail has the world’s highest cricket ground. Finally, it was decided to go with the working title the team had been using - Roadies. MTV held an internal contest to come up with an alternative name and the winner was: Road Raj.
The name that was first suggested for Roadies was Saat-Saath (seven together).
