Bollywood star Sunny Deol is set to make his debut on the hot seat of Kaun Banega Crorepati as he joins Aamir Khan and Preity Zinta for the grand premiere of Season 18.
The trio will appear on the popular quiz-based reality show to promote their upcoming film Batwara 1947, with megastar Amitabh Bachchan returning as the host.
In a new promotional video shared by the channel on social media, Aamir is seen playfully asking Bachchan about the theme of the new season, ‘Sochna Padega’.
“Aapne promo mein kaha hai ‘Sochna Padega’, toh kya sochna padega?” Aamir asks.
Bachchan responds in his trademark style: “Itna aasan nahi hone wala hai, kyunki sochna padta hai na, bhaisaab.”
Aamir agrees, saying, “Sochna padega, Sir… waakai sochna padega.”
The episode marks Sunny Deol’s first appearance on the Kaun Banega Crorepati hot seat.
Sunny shares a longstanding bond with Bachchan, dating back to his father Dharmendra’s association with the veteran actor. Bachchan and Dharmendra have worked together in several memorable films, including Sholay, Chupke Chupke and Ram Balram.
Sunny Deol has also shared screen space with Bachchan in the 1994 film Insaniyat.
Meanwhile, Sunny is gearing up for the release of Batwara 1947, a period drama centred on the Partition of India and the trauma surrounding the historic event.
The film also stars Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi and Karan Deol, among others, and is scheduled to release worldwide on August 14.
