‘KBC’ episode featuring Big B and Kapil Sharma postponed

And here’s the bad news. We have been badly waiting for the upcoming season of Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. However, seems like there is a fault in the stars of the show. The much-awaited episode wherein Big B was supposed to feature along with the king of comedy in recent times, Kapil Sharma, has been cancelled, if reports are to be believed.

We may think that it has happened due to strike of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), but the channel spokesman cleared the same. “The shooting has got postponed for next week, but it has got nothing to do with the FWICE strike,” quoted the person to TOI.

Well, we really hope that we get to see the two stars on the hot seat together. This may in a way revive the professional issues that Kapil has been facing has well, after the infamous incident of him allegedly slapping Sunil Grover, mid-flight.

‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ is entering its ninth season, and has really become a phenomenon on Indian television. The concept and the presence of megastar Amitabh Bachchan, both have proved to be charismatic for the show. (Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan lends a helping hand in Versova beach clean up drive)

Some time back, Big B posted a heartfelt message on his blog about the show, after he had shot for the trailer of the current season which will hit the television screens on August 28. The veteran actor had written, “KBC. The winner from its beginnings. To me at least was to mingle with them that come with ambition and desire, with hope and will and of course the ultimate desire of spending those hours at the Hot Seat, with complete strangers who by the time it ends become your dearest friends.”

On Bollywood front, Amitabh Bachchan is currently busy with eight to nine movies, including ‘102 Not Out’, where he will be sharing screen space with Rishi Kapoor.
