Amitabh Bachchan has been synonymous with ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ for over two decades. Since the show first aired in 2000, he has been its iconic face, hosting all but one season. Now, there’s major news on the horizon. Salman Khan, one of the few Bollywood stars who has ruled both films and television, is in advanced talks to replace Big B as the host.

With hit shows like ‘Dus Ka Dum’ and ‘Bigg Boss’ under his belt, Salman has become a household name on TV. Sources told Bollywood Hungama, “Salman is the king of the small screen and connects well with the heartland audience.” Financial discussions are currently underway. If finalised, Salman will bring a fresh energy to KBC, while Bachchan steps back due to personal reasons.
