No takers for Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC)


KBC seems to have run into trouble. With Star TV not ready to take up the show and other channels like Sony and Colors refusing to touch such an expensive product, this seems to be a property looking for takers at the moment. Siddharth Basu has mentioned that there are negotiations planned with channels in the coming days, however, with the Big B and Shahrukh having turned down the offer to host the show, there may be some difficulty in finding a taker who is ready to get involved with a show that requires a heavy investment of money. Star Tv had approached the Big B for hosting the next season of the show while he was in Singapore with his politician friend Amar Singh, however, Colors managed to rope him in for their big budget reality show , The Big Boss. With a tough road ahead, Siddharth Basu definitely needs someone big to show interest in his mega project.
