Amitabh Bachchan Ready to Host KBC 5

Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan is once again ready to take on the role of the host of the television game show Kaun Banega Crorepati.

The coming months would see the superstar hosting the fifth season of the popular and hit reality game show that first aired in 2000.

“Preparing now for KBC's next season starting I think in a few months... creative and promo discussions today ... very interesting,” Bachchan revealed on Twitter.

KBC is based on the UK game show ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’

In the four seasons of KBC since 2000, Big B has hosted the show three times. The third season of the show was hosted by Shahrukh Khan but wasn’t as big a hit as was expected. Big B returned for the fourth season and took the show to a greater height.
