Mumbai, July 23: The popular quiz-based reality TV show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', hosted by veteran Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, is scheduled to return for its 16th season on August 12. The makers have announced the premiere date along with the tagline, "Zindagi hai, har mod par sawaal poochegi, jawaab toh dena hoga".
The show's promo showcases various scenarios where individuals face challenges and a barrage of questions that demand confident answers. 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' stands as India's most iconic television program, credited with revitalizing Big B's career during a time of financial adversity.
In the late 1990s, Amitabh Bachchan's production house, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation (AB Corp), faced financial troubles due to its modern corporate approach in an industry still rooted in traditional methods. To settle debts, Bachchan embraced television with 'KBC' in 2000. This move not only brought a megastar, previously confined to the silver screen, into millions of Indian homes but also secured prime-time viewership, endearing him to every Indian family.
