Megastar Amitabh Bachchan , who is juggling between multiple projects in Bollywood, kick-started shooting for the 10th season of his much popular game show kaun Banega crorepati. KBC is the Indian adaptation of the internationally popular format ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire‘ and has been ruling a million hearts over the years.
On the first day of shooting, senior Bachchan went down the memory lane and reminisced about the early days of his hit show that started its journey back in 2000.
Taking to his official blog site ‘Bachchan Bol’ Big B wrote, “The first day of shoot for KBC .. and the apprehensions and nervous energy eating up the intestines .. it’s been 18 years of KBC in India and the 10th season .. a majority of which have been associated with me .. seems strange but there it is .. those first days of its initiation in the year 2000, its struggles and trials, and now to be still at it in the year 2018 is by itself some revelation”.
“…the location the crew the stage the meetings the references and the briefings .. all form such a vast variety of creative input that it is difficult to ignore even the smallest of suggestions .. but yes it is a daunting task and most arduous .. yet the moment the appearance occurs and the studio audience reacts it is enough reason to be there even after 18 years of its existence .. !!” Bachchan added while sharing a series of photographs from his ‘crorepati’ days.
Although the icon appeared delighted on the day of its inception, he also said that meeting people and to hear their stories of struggle and condition on the show was heartbreaking at times.
Meanwhile, the popular quiz show was hitting headlines after the creators of ‘Jeeto Unlimited‘ claimed that KBC’s sit-at-home play along concept (Darshak Banenga Khilaadi) was being infringed and is a violation of copyright act.
