The shoot of megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati has reportedly been put on hold for the past week due to the actor’s health concerns. A source exclusively told IANS that the legendary actor has not been keeping well, prompting the makers to temporarily suspend the shoot of new episodes. Meanwhile, the channel has been airing repeat episodes featuring celebrity guests as part of its Diwali special programming.

According to the source, the last major celebrity episode filmed featured Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey, who appeared to promote their upcoming film Ramayana. The episode was originally planned to coincide with the film’s release. However, Amitabh Bachchan's health concerns reportedly led the channel to revise its plans. Rather than holding the episode until the film’s release, the channel kicked off its Diwali special week last week with the Ramayana episode, the source added.
