Deviyon aur sajjano, brace yourself for the 12th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). This season, the show makes a comeback with a two-fold messaging that conveys not just a better return amid a pandemic but also a motivational nudge for participants and viewers to consider setbacks as a stepping stone. It is produced by StudioNEXT and hosted by actor Amitabh Bachchan.
The first ever digital audition of this season raised hope, dreams and aspirations among people from across the country.
While the core of the show remains the same, it comes with a few changes relevant to the current times. It will not host in-studio audiences keeping in line with the government mandated safety guidelines and protocols in response to COVID-19. The in-studio audience played a huge role as a lifeline – Audience Poll, to help the contestants on the hotseat move ahead in the game. This year, this lifeline will be replaced by another lifeline Video-A-Friend. The other three lifelines remain the same – 50:50, Ask The Expert and Flip The Question. The number of fastest finger first contestants who will compete to be on the hot seat per week, has been reduced from the usual 10 to 8.
With KBC Play Along on Sony LIV, viewers can enjoy the gameshow by participating and matching their knowledge with the contestants on the hot seat.
(The show premieres from September 28, Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.)
