Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has started shooting for the 11th season of the quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). "It has begun. Another 'KBC', 19 years since it started, 11 seasons and the love of all the viewers," Amitabh tweeted. The 76-year-old thespian shared a string of photographs from the KBC set.

"The signature tune and the applause and 'KBC' and the tech rehearsals come alive and the palpitation for the morrow and the first episode for this year and its apprehensions and uncertainties but shall try to give it a best knock," he wrote.
