Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is bringing back the
reality TV game show "Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC), says its enactment needs
great attention.
With the recordings of the show starting in "not too
distant future", Amitabh gave a glimpse of the workings of the show via his blog
on Saturday.
"Getting down to the basics of what the show shall entail is
down on the list of the producers and we go over them again and again to get it
right and correct. The sensitivity of the game and its conduct is vital and so,
its enactment needs great attention.
"Production and Sony where it shall
be telecast, inform me that the registration numbers were close to a number not
seen before. It showed that interest in the game was still perhaps alive. Some
of the economic papers that write about it, give statistics of the past and the
present and give comparative percentage increases... that is heartening," he
wrote.
"It's been 17 years with a few gaps in between since its inception
and start and it almost seems like it all began just yesterday... what a journey
it has been," he added.
According to reports, the upcoming season has
received a record number of 19.8 million registrations.
The show was
first aired in 2000, changing the face of Indian television and giving Amitabh a
new lease of life in showbiz.
On the film front, Amitabh will next be
seen in Vijay Krishna Acharya's directorial "Thugs of Hindostan" which will also
star Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Shashank Arora in lead
roles.
