The show will be launched on October 11, which also happens to be Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday. ‘Birthdays come and go. But to get an opportunity to release ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ on my birthday makes me feel really proud. I thank the channel for this and hope the audience find it exciting too,’ said Big B.

So, will we see something new this time in KBC? Amitabh said, ‘Even though the basic format remains unchanged, the show will be faster and crispier this time. There will be 12 questions for Rs one crore and the last one would be the jackpot of Rs 5 crore.’
