Chinese reality show Sisters Who Make Waves has been one of the most buzzed-about programmes ever since it premiered last year. Both its seasons were well-received by viewers and the talent competition even helped to boost the popularity of the already-established participants.

As such, it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are reportedly talks to continue riding on the success of Sisters by launching a Brothers version of the show, with plans to start filming in July.

A rundown of the rumoured male contenders even went viral ‘cos of all the big stars in it… including one Andy Lau.

However, it turns out that the 59-year-old Hongkong Heavenly King was only listed as a “founder” aka the person who gathers the contestants, although rumour has it that he's interested in taking part in the competition as well.

Other notable names on the very star-studded list include Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Jimmy Lin, Wu Chun, Jordan Chan, Mike He, Calvin Chen, Annie Yi’s husband Qin Hao, Chen Kun, and many more.

Can you imagine all of them singing and dancing their hearts out on stage at the same time, trying their darndest to make the final boy — um, man? — band?

The news drew mixed reactions from netizens. While some expressed their anticipation, others found the supposed list of contenders way too unrealistic to be true, especially Andy’s involvement.

“After looking at the list, I feel it’s impossible ‘cos everyone is so busy,” wrote one commenter, while another called the rumour out as a way of stirring up extra publicity by tricking fans, adding, “I don’t believe Andy Lau would ever participate in such a show.”

Well, guess we’ll just have to wait and see if the rumours are true after all.
