Kaun Banega Crorepati” is the official Hindi adaptation of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” franchise. It is presented by actor Amitabh Bachchan, who has hosted the show for its entire run except for its third season, during which Shah Rukh Khan replaced him.

The contestants are asked multiple choice questions and must select the correct answer from four possible choices, and are provided with lifelines that may be used if they are uncertain.

On July 6, the icon took to social media to share an appreciation note for his son, actor Abhishek Bachchan.

Posting a picture of Abhishek, Amitabh wrote on Instagram, “My pride and my unlimited love .. how beautifully on your own terms you are achieving your well deserved praise and recognition .. “Kaaldhar may be missing, but Abhishek is never missing from our hearts.”

In other news, his film “Sholay” was feted with a 50th anniversary tribute with an uncut version of the film getting its world premiere at Italy’s Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival last month.

The film, which also stars Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar and Amjad Khan, is written by the legendary duo Salim-Javed. The classic follows former police officer Thakur Baldev Singh, who hires two small-time rogues Veeru and Jai to capture the notorious dacoit Gabbar Singh, who terrorizes the village of Ramgarh.
