Amitabh Bachchan
In the grand finale of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 15 last December, a teary-eyed Amitabh Bachchan brought down the curtain on the season, saying, “For the last time, I am bidding you all goodbye from this show. Good night.” The megastar-host’s emotional farewell had sparked rumours that the game show had reached the end of the road. Now, there’s good news. The shoot of KBC 16 is underway, and it will start airing from August 12.
Showrunner Arun Sheshkumar tells mid-day that the offering is back on public demand. “There was a lot of ambiguity within the channel, as nobody was talking about the next season. There was a lot of chatter on social media with people wanting [another edition of] KBC, and Mr Bachchan. [So, we’re] back on public demand. This season begins with him running into the set, like he does,” says Sheshkumar.
