Amitabh Bachchan has filmed the first episode of his game show Kaun Bange Crorepati 8.
The 71-year-old actor, who began on the show in 2000, began filming on Friday for the eighth season.
“The new season of KBC starts and the first day has been shot and canned. The crew and the atmosphere familiar, but never too familiar to destroy the work on hand,” he wrote in his blog.
“It may be 14 years since our association with it. but each moment needs the kind of concentration and effort that shall make it endurable and loved,” he added.
KBC’s tagline on the show is ‘Yahan Sirf Paise Nahi, Dil Bhi Jeete Jaate Hain’ (You not only win money here, but win hearts too).
Bachchan said the stories of the contestants touched his heart. “First day of KBC recording and it attracts you from word ‘go’!! Lovely contestants, moving stories, and the joy of meeting them,” Bachchan wrote on his Twitter page.
The actor is currently starring in TV show, Yudh.
