Season 9 of Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati will be shorter

Unlike the earlier seasons of Kaun Banega Crorepati, this time, the show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan will have a short run. Says a source, “The channel has many reality shows lined up. Soon after KBC, they want to bring the second season of Super Dancer, then there is Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, which is returning after two years. Even the comedy show with Sunil Grover is being worked upon. Hence, KBC will have a short season this time.”

Earlier, there was buzz about the makers wanting a female host for the show.  Madhuri Dixit Nene and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were being considered, but the source says that was not the case. “If Bachchan wouldn’t have hosted it, they would have scrapped it. They feel that it will be very difficult for somebody else to step into Big B’s shoes as the host of this particular show.”
