Amitabh Bachchan’s Tv show Kaun Banega Crorepati is all prepping up to bring its twelfth season. The popular game show is all set to make its selection process completely digital amid the coronavirus pandemic.
For the season’s registration promo, Bachchan shot the video from his home, remotely helmed by Dangal helmer Nitesh Tiwari.

As per their performance, they will be shortlisted by the randomiser based on certain pre-defines reservation criteria, and will be reached out to, telephonically, for further assessment.
The third step will be an online audition based on a general knowledge test aided by a video submission.
