Amitabh Bachchan is set to make a grand comeback with the highly anticipated season 17 of the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Sony has officially confirmed the news, generating excitement among fans of the show. The announcement was made through a unique and engaging promo that drew inspiration from one of Amitabh Bachchan's most iconic roles.
The promo video began with a scene depicting a wealthy and arrogant individual berating a humble salesman, accusing him of damaging an expensive carpet imported from London. However, as the wealthy man continued to rant and rave, the salesman calmly and confidently dropped some surprising facts. With a witty remark, he explained that the carpet's advanced fiber and anti-dust properties made it virtually indestructible, rendering the alleged damage nonexistent.
In a clever twist, the salesman handed the wealthy man a small amount of money before departing, suggesting he use it to treat his throat after all the yelling. This scene was a clear nod to one of Amitabh Bachchan's legendary characters and fans are eagerly awaiting the new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati to see Big B return to the hot seat.
Sony shared the announcement on Instagram and wrote, "Jahan Akal hai, wahan Akad hai. Aa raha hai Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 August se, Somvaar se Shukravaar, raat 9 baje sirf #SonyEntertainmentTelevision aur Sony LIV par. [KBC, Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh Bachchan, KBC 2025, Jahan Akal Hai Wahan Akad Hai]"
