The iconic quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) is set to return with a brand new season, featuring the legendary Amitabh Bachchan back in the host’s chair.
KBC’s Grand Return Announced
Fans of Kaun Banega Crorepati have reason to celebrate! Sony TV recently confirmed the highly anticipated return of the popular quiz show for another season.
Since its debut in 2000, KBC has been a staple in Indian television, consistently drawing massive viewership. Its unique format and Amitabh Bachchan’s charismatic hosting have made it a cultural phenomenon.
Big B Channels His Inner Vijay
The announcement came with a playful and engaging promotional video that immediately grabbed attention. In the promo, Amitabh Bachchan subtly pays homage to one of his most beloved characters: Vijay Dinanath Chauhan from the 1990 film, Agneepath.
The video starts with a humorous scenario where a wealthy man scolds a salesman over a supposedly ruined carpet. The salesman, wise and confident, calmly explains the carpet’s durable features before leaving, quipping a line about the rich man needing cash for his throat.
Amitabh Bachchan then makes his grand entrance, delivering a powerful line that translates to, “Where there is wisdom, there is confidence.” He then dramatically poses in his chair, reminiscent of Vijay’s famous stance, and declares, “Our appointment is on August 11, what do you say? Appointment. Speaking English.” This clever nod to Agneepath delighted fans, bringing a touch of cinematic nostalgia to the KBC announcement.
A Storied Legacy
Kaun Banega Crorepati began at a crucial point in Amitabh Bachchan’s career, helping him overcome significant financial challenges. Over the years, the show has become synonymous with Big B, despite Shah Rukh Khan briefly taking over as host for one season.
Bachchan quickly returned to the helm, and his unique connection with contestants and his iconic catchphrases like “Lock kiya jaye?” have cemented his status as the definitive KBC host. The show recently celebrated 25 years on air, a testament to its enduring popularity and impact.
