Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to return as the host for the 18th edition of the quiz-based reality show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” for which he wll start shooting from August 1.

Big B will start shooting on specially designed set at Mumbai’s Film City. This season arrives with the intriguing theme, “Is Baar… Sochna Padega,” introducing a fresh approach to the iconic quiz show.

Sony Entertainment Television recently unveiled a new promo featuring Amitabh Bachchan at a picturesque golf course. Drawing a parallel between golf and life, he explained that the first answer is not always the right one, encouraging contestants to pause, think carefully, and then respond.

He says, “In childhood, we were taught that the first answer given is the most correct one. But sometimes in life, the first answer is not the right one. This time in KBC, one has to stop oneself a bit before giving the answer. Do you understand? This is the time… one has to think.

(As children, we were taught that the one who answers first is the one who is right. But in life, many a time, the first answer isn’t the right one. So this time on KBC, before giving your answer, you’ll have to pause for a moment. Didn’t get it? This time… you’ll have to think.. Sochna Padega)

Kaun Banega Crorepati is the official Hindi adaptation of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise. It is presented by actor Amitabh Bachchan, who has hosted the show for its entire run except for its third season, during which Shah Rukh Khan, another actor, replaced Big B.

The format is similar to other shows in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise, where contestants are asked multiple-choice questions and must select the correct answer from four possible choices, and are provided with lifelines that may be used if they are uncertain.
