Amitabh Bachchan has agreed to play a very special role in the third season of Bigg Boss, which begins in October.
This is Bachchan's second television appearance after the spectacular success of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Negotiations between Bachchan and Colors were on until late this week.Finally, yesterday, the Colors team headed for Singapore to announceu00a0 Bachchan's presence on the show.
Saysu00a0 Kamat, "You may well ask, why Mr Bachchan? But after the success of Season 2 we needed to take Bigg Boss to another level.

We went to theu00a0 drawing boardu00a0 and concluded that the only way we could take theu00a0 show to a higher level was by introducing the concept of the pop philosopher.

Now, the discussion will move to a dinner-table introspection level. Why were the contestants doing what they were doing... what were their motivations, etc.
u00a0
We needed a prophetic voice that would be heard and taken seriously. Quite frankly, if Mr Bachchan hadn't agreed, we'd have scrapped the concept of the pop philosopher on the show."
