Kaun Banega Crorepati began in 2000 and since then Amitabh Bachchan has been the face of the show. Except for one season he has consistently hosted it. His powerful voice and distinctive style of asking questions are widely appreciated by the audience. Fans are emotionally attached to the show and watching Big B on this stage is a unique experience. However reports suggest that Bachchan may step down from the host’s chair due to personal reasons and superstar Salman Khan might replace him. A source claimed to Bollywood Hungama portal that Salman Khan has already begun talks with the makers of the quiz show. If both parties reach an agreement he could soon be announced as the new host of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17. The source said Salman Khan is the king of the small screen and the best face to replace Amitabh Bachchan is him as he also has a strong connection with audiences in smaller centres. Shah Rukh Khan has also hosted KBC and if everything goes well Salman will be the newest to take television screens by storm. Now to put end to these rumours a close source associated with Sony TV has said that this news is completely false and baseless. Talking to India Today a source from Sony TV clarified that there has been no discussion about any change in the shows host as of now. He said It is very strange that such rumours are flying. The truth is that there is no question of removing Big B from the show. According to sources preparations are underway for the promo shoot for KBC Season 17 and Amitabh Bachchan will be seen in it too. The channel has also included him in the poster and promo video. The shooting of the show will begin from July and it will be telecast on television in the first week of August.
