Amitabh Bachchan is off to work in new social media post


Amitabh Bachchan shared a new photo on Instagram today (September 30). In the post, the 77-year-old actor is seen sitting in the car, wearing a mask. In the caption, Amitabh Bachchan wrote how he is supposed to work for '15 hours' and that is his 'task'. The actor is presently shooting for the 12th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati.

This year, the 12th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati follows the tagline Jo Bhi Ho, Setback Ka Jawaab Comeback Se Do. Amitabh Bachchanstarted shooting the 12th season of the famous quizzing game show in August, after recovering from the novel coronavirus. The show’s sets and format were redesigned keeping the pandemic in mind. For the first time in 20 years, the show will have no live audience, Therefore, the audience poll lifeline has been replaced by another one called video-a-friend.

KBC showrunner Sujata Sanghamitra told PTI, “The set designing changed as we have only eight fastest finger first contestants, reduced from the usual 10 so that social distancing is maintained. We have companions of the contestants, but they are also seated far apart. The design of the hot seat and the contestants chair have also changed, there's more gap now.”

As per the shooting guidelines, Amitabh Bachchan as the host is supposed to make minimal physical contact with the contestants. The team has come up with a middle-ground for this. Sujata said, “The contestants won't be able to hug him, but Bachchan sir will be doing an 'elbow hi'. The conversations remain the same. Physical distance hasn't disturbed the content.”KBC 12 has a bigger control room along with partitions. Amitabh’s teleprompter room has a glass wall with the 77-year-old on one side and the scriptwriter on the other. Earlier, the set used to have two entry-exit points, which have now increased to four-five. Also, Amitabh and contestants now use separate entry and exit points. The crew now has 175 people.
