On Wednesday, Amitabh Bachchan took to his official blog to announce that work on the new season had commenced and shared some photographs of himself from the quiz show’s sets in Mumbai.
Bachchan wrote, “Back to the boards and the apprehension and fears and doubts arise again… and each season presents itself similarly… others think otherwise… they are not wise, or in due process of the understanding needed to face camera and audience… a claim much debated, but in all earnestness it is factual for me…”
“There is an ‘each time I say never again’ and yet it all comes back when the commitment has been made.. so comply and accept and go ahead with the best efforts.. . and so one tries,” the thespian added.
Kaun Banega Crorepati launched in 2000, and while Bachchan has been associated with the show since its inception, season 3 was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan.
