Kaun Banega Crorepati holds on to a legacy that has reached every household in the country. The show is set to return with a brand new season. KBC and the host Amitabh Bachchan have been entertaining the fans since 2000. What began as a fresh concept from the West became India's own in these 2 decades. The show has not only brought in a change in society but has even turned into a flag bearer of fulfilling many dreams. KBC becomes a platform for the common man to move towards their dream only through their knowledge. Season 17 is set to premiere on August 11.
The new promo brings an interesting twist
The new promo video begins with a wealthy and arrogant man yelling at a door-to-door salesman for allegedly damaging his 'imported from London' carpet. As the man continues to attack the fellow, the salesman has had enough and offers to share some expertise. He informs the rich man about the fabric used in his carpet and its anti-dust properties, implying no harm and no foul. He leaves after giving him some modest cash for his neck, which may require some attention after all that yelling that he just did. Amitabh Bachchan then enters the frame and says, 'Jaha akal hai, waha akad hai.'
Amitabh Bachchan brings back the iconic Vijay Deenanath Chauhan's charisma
Amitabh Bachchan further details about the upcoming season and also channelled his inner Vijay Deenanath Chauhan as he said, "11 August se appointment hai apna, kya bolta hai? Appointment. English bolta hai." Big B's onscreen characters have been iconic, and when it comes to Agneepath, there hasn't been anyone who hasn't watched the film or enjoyed his character.
Talking about the show, the legacy has been continuing for more than 2 decades. The show even had Shah Rukh Khan as the host for a few seasons. He also brought some interesting features to the show with his charm. Big B's die-hard fans got him back on the show, and since then, there has been no looking back with Kaun Banega Crorepati. With each season, fans have only grown towards the show. It will be interesting to see what new features the upcoming season offers to the contestants.
