By Ians English
The
popular
game
show
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati,
hosted
by
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
is
back
and
this
time
it's
bigger
and
better.
The
jackpot
prize
in
the
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
2013
will
be
Rs
7
crore
and
participants
will
have
to
answer
15
questions
to
win
the
whopping
prize
money.
There
will
be
four
questions
in
the
new
feature
Sapta
koti
sandook
that
will
let
contestants
win
from
Rs
1
crore
to
Rs
3
crore,
Rs
5
crore
and
finally
Rs
7
crore.
Entering
the
hot
seat
has
become
more
challenging
as
'Fastest
finger
first'
round
has
been
modified.
It
will
now
be
called
'Best
out
of
three'.
That's
not
all.
Five,
instead
of
four,
lifelines
will
help
contestants
to
reach
closer
to
prize
money.
While
"audience
poll" and
"phone
a
friend"
will
continue
as
lifelines,
"flip
the
question"
will
return
in
place
of
"ask
the
expert".
"50:50"
will
replace
"double
dip".
The
latest
addition
is
"power
paplu".
It
will
help
to
revive
any
used
lifeline.
The
show,
which
has
"seekhna
bandh
toh
jeetna
bandh"
as
central
theme,
will
go
on
air
on
Sony
Entertainment
Television
on
Sep
6.
Along
with
modifications
in
the
game,
the
show's
set
has
also
been
changed.
"It
has
been
shifted
from
Filmcity
in
Goregaon
here
to
Yash
Raj
Films
studio
in
Andheri
West.
The
infrastructure
is
better.
In
Filmcity,
if
it
rains
hard
you
have
to
stop
shooting.
If
generator
can't
take
load,
then
also
you
have
to
stop,"
Siddhartha
Basu,
chairman
and
managing
director
of
Big
Synergy
Media
Ltd,
told.

Nerve
Wracking
Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
hosted
this
game
show
five
times,
but
he
still
finds
it
nerve-wracking.
Who
Wants
To
Be
A
Millionaire
Except
for
the
third
edition,
which
was
hosted
by
superstar
Shahrukh
Khan,
Amitabh
has
been
seen
on
the
quizmaster's
seat.
He
has
also
shot
three
to
four
episodes
of
the
seventh
season
of
the
show
based
on
international
quiz
show
Who
Wants
To
Be
A
Millionaire.
But
the
70-year-old
says
he
still
feels
nervous.
Nervous
"I
do
get
nervous.
Whether
it
is
a
press
meet
or
work.
It's
nerve-wracking.
I
disagree
that
just
because
you
are
a
professional
you
are
not
going
to
get
nervous,"
Amitabh
told
reporters
here
during
press
conference
held
for
launch
of
seventh
season
of
KBC.
Jitters
Before
KBC's
recordings
started
earlier
this
week,
Bachchan
had
even
tweeted
about
feeling
jitters
in
stomach.
