The
Two
Major
Changes
In
The
Show
Are:
1.
Earlier,
there
were
10
contestants
for
Fastest
Fingers
First,
but
now,
as
the
makers
have
increased
the
distance
between
the
two
Fastest
Fingers
First
contestants,
only
8
contestants
will
participate.
2.
There
will
be
no
‘Audience
Poll',
as
there
are
no
in-studio
audience.
Instead
the
makers
have
introduced
a
new
lifeline
named
‘Video-a-Friend'.
Other
lifelines
‘Ask
the
Expert',
‘50-50
and
‘Flip
the
Question'
will
be
the
same.
Other
Changes
#
As
we
revealed
there
will
be
no
audiences
on
the
sets,
but
each
contestant
can
bring
a
family
member
along
with
them,
who
will
be
in
the
seating
area.
#
This
time,
the
audiences
have
apparently
shot
for
their
introductory
videos
by
themselves.
Crew
Members
Reduced
The
crew
members
have
been
reduced
from
300
to
175
people.
In
the
control
room,
there
are
partitions
between
people.
Also,
safety
measures
are
being
followed
on
the
sets.
Regarding
the
safety
measures
followed
in
the
control
room,
director
of
the
show
Arjun
Sheshkumar
was
quoted
by
Pinkvilla
as
saying,
"The
control
rooms
where
the
production
team
operates,
has
changed.
The
room
has
got
partitions
now
and
the
whole
team
coordinates
through
headsets.
The
workspace
of
the
departments
has
been
designed,
keeping
the
new
normal
in
mind."
The
director
also
revealed
that
the
crew
members
on
ground
have
also
been
reduced
and
food
area
has
become
bigger
having
only
two
people
sitting
on
one
table
with
partition.
He
also
added
that
they
are
operating
only
on
headphones
and
maintaining
distance,
keeping
the
whole
experience
contactless.
Safety
Measures
Are
Being
Followed
On
The
Sets
Arjun
further
said,
"Owing
to
current
times,
the
process
has
changed
of
course,
everyone
has
to
maintain
social
distancing,
wear
masks,
get
their
temperature
and
oxygen
levels
checked
while
the
crew
on
the
set
is
seen
wearing
PPE
kits
to
protect
themselves
and
the
person
they
interact
with.
Technically,
we
have
created
barricades
for
the
contestants
in
front
of
their
LED
screen,
so
if
they
get
selected,
there
is
a
path
created
for
them,
so
they
directly
reach
the
hotseat.
You
may
not
see
some
technical
fixes,
but
it
is
consciously
present
on
the
set."
Separate
Walkway
For
Big
B
Between
The
Stage
Arjun
further
added,
"There
is
also
a
separate
walkway
for
Amitabh
Bachchan
between
the
stage
and
the
room
he
sits
in,
it
is
again
divided
by
a
glass
partition,
where
my
whole
team
sits
on
the
other
side
of
it
and
communicates
through
mics
and
speakers."
Big
B
Encourages
Elbow
Shakes
Instead
Of
Hand
Shakes
The
director
revealed
that
there
have
been
structural
changes
where
the
audience
sit.
The
audience
area
has
been
re-designed
with
the
hope
that
someday
if
the
audience
is
allowed
on
the
set,
there
is
space
for
them.
As
we
all
are
aware,
Big
B
greets
the
contestants
by
shaking
hands,
but
this
time,
the
actor
has
started
a
new
trend.
The
director
revealed
that
Big
B
has
started
a
new
trend
this
season
as
he
encouraged
elbow-shakes.
He
added
that
this
brought
smiles
on
their
faces
and
they
have
tried
implementing
it
amongst
them
and
the
crew
too.
