The release date for Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, has been set. The game show, which has delighted audiences for 25 years, will return with a new season sooner than you might anticipate. The new season is about to begin, even though KBC 16 came to a close earlier this year in February. Everything you need to know is listed here.

The release date and platform for Kaun Banega Crorepati 17

The release date of KBC 17, which will be hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, has now been made public. The show will be available on TV from August 11. Additionally, it will be accessible on SonyLIV via OTTplay Premium. A recently released promotional film starring Sumbul Touqeer Khan also verified the same thing.

The filming of KBC 17 just got underway.

The Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 shoot began lately, amidst rumors that Salman Khan would take over as the host from Amitabh Bachchan. Big B announced his return as the season's host in his blog post, thereby corroborating the news. He had also filmed the program's promotional videos, which included questions about registration, for individuals who were unfamiliar with it. At the same time, it's anticipated that Salman Khan will rejoin Bigg Boss 19 at the end of August. The reality TV program is anticipated on JioHotstar and may be watched through an OTTplay Premium membership.

Will CID 2 be replaced by KBC 17?

The biggest question on everybody's mind now is, will KBC 17 replace CID 2? Despite the latter having a massive following on TV, the OTT version reportedly has not been working like the makers expected it to. Even though Parth Samthaan's entry and exit during Shivaji Satam's break from the show got social media buzzing, the hype of the crime-based show is unlike the TV version. Thus, rumour mill has it that KBC 17 is likely to replace CID 2. However, there is no confirmation on the same, and instead, sources have denied it by stating that the makers are still giving the show some time.
