Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who made a successful comeback to showbiz through ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati' in 2000, is back on the quiz reality show.
The mega star has replaced Shah Rukh Khan, who hosted the third season, for the fourth season of the show, which will now be telecast on Sony TV.
The 67-year-old said it is a great honour and pleasure to be associated with the show once again.
