Further details regarding the commencement of the show and the timings are being awaited.

Amitabh Bachchan, who is the face of Kaun Banega Crorepati, came up with a very special message, wishing Radhika and the show Kodeeswari. "After having had the privilege of working with you as a colleague in films, as you embark as a host for KBC, there are several reasons that you need to be congratulated upon. You are going to be the first woman host of KBC not just in our country but also the first time ever in the history of the show nationally and internationally that the contestants of KBC are all going to be woman. This is not just unique, most encouraging, reassuring and motivating. My good wishes to you and the contestants of the show Kodeeswari. All the very best Radhika Ji. May you always excel as you have in your career. Thank you so much," Big B said in a video, which has been uploaded on the Instagram page of Colors Tamil.
