Amitabh Bachchan starts preparations for Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 11

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is presently basking in the success of his latest film Badla (2019), will soon return to television to host the upcoming season of popular reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati.

He has started prepping for the 11th season KBC. "So prep for KBC starts and here we are running into introductions, systems, learning new inputs, rehearsing, getting ready for another year," Bachchan wrote on his blog.


The show, which aired its first season in 2000, has been synonymous with Big B ever since its launch. The superstar has hosted nine seasons of the game show. He also talked about his association with the general knowledge-based game show.

"It’s 2019 and it all began in 2000. 19 years and a gap of about two years when it did not happen for me. But 17 years is a lifetime and a lifetime that was given a lifeline by you," he wrote.

The show will air on Sony Entertainment Television.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
