The
Coronavirus
crisis
has
changed
dynamics
for
everyone
around
the
world.
Although
the
television
actors
have
resumed
shoot,
the
production
house
is
asked
to
follow
a
list
of
guidelines.
The
reality
shows
and
the
shows
that
have
live
audience
will
be
affected
the
most.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
the
makers
of
Sony
TV's
popular
game
show
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
12
had
shot
promo
in
the
host
Amitabh
Bachchan's
house.
The
contestants
will
be
selected
digitally.
As
per
a
Tellychakkar
report,
the
show
will
be
launched
on
August
24,
2020.
It
is
also
being
said
that
there
will
be
many
changes
this
time,
owing
to
the
Coronavirus
crisis.
Keeping
in
mind
health
and
safety
measures
of
contestants,
cast,
crew
and
the
audience,
it
is
being
said
that
this
year,
there
will
be
no
live
audience.
It
is
also
being
said
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
will
shoot
from
house
while
contestants
will
be
able
to
interact
with
the
host
through
a
big
screen.
Like
every
season,
the
new
season
also
has
a
unique
tagline,
which
is
'Har
Cheez
Ko
Break
Lag
Sakta
Hai...
Sapno
Ko
Nahi
(Everything
can
be
stopped
in
its
tracks,
except
one's
dreams)'.
Regarding
selection
of
contestants,
Head
-
Business
Planning
and
Communication,
Sony
Entertainment
Television,
Amit
Raisinghani
had
told
PTI,
"For
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
KBC,
the
entire
screening
and
selection
will
be
managed
digitally...
This
is
the
season
of
firsts
and
we
are
confident
that
this
season
will
redefine
the
power
of
knowledge."
As
per
PTI
report,
the
selection
involves
the
following
steps:
The
first
step
is
registration.
The
second
step
is
further
assessment
of
the
shortlisted
candidates
(who
answered
the
registration
questions
correctly)
telephonically
and
the
third
step
is
an
online
audition
on
general
knowledge,
a
test
aided
by
video
submission.
The
final
round
will
be
a
personal
interview
that
will
be
conducted
remotely
through
video
call.
The
report
also
suggested
that
the
entire
selection
process
will
be
verified
by
an
independent
audit
firm.
