Amitabh Bachchan

Buoyed by its success in 2017, Amitabh Bachchan is looking forward to hosting another season of Kaun Banega Crorepati this year. While reports of the 10th edition of the series kicking off in September earlier hit headlines, Bachchan tells mid-day that it may, in fact, roll as early as July. "The detailing and the groundwork for the show has begun. It is a lengthy process. The auditions and research [about every contestant] can take several months to finish. We begin work around July or August," he says.
