Amitabh Bachchan is all set to return to television with the 18th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, and the makers have already started building excitement around the new season. This time, the quiz show comes with a new tagline, “Is baar sochna padega”, hinting that contestants may have to rely on more than just memorised facts to move ahead in the game.
The latest promo has added another layer of excitement as Bollywood stars Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol join Amitabh Bachchan on the hot seat. The upcoming episode will mark Sunny Deol’s first appearance on KBC, while Aamir’s presence promises plenty of fun conversations and memorable moments.
Aamir asks Big B what contestants will have to think about
In the promo, Aamir Khan directly asks Amitabh Bachchan about the meaning behind the new season’s theme. Referring to the repeated line “Sochna padega”, Aamir asks Big B what exactly contestants will have to think about this time.
Amitabh, staying true to his witty style, gives him a playful response instead of revealing too much. He tells Aamir that simply looking at him will not help him find the answers. The veteran actor then makes it clear that the questions this season will not be as easy as they may have been in the past.
Aamir agrees with the host and jokingly accepts that contestants will indeed have to think harder this time. Their light-hearted exchange gives viewers a glimpse of the fun chemistry expected in the episode.
Sunny Deol joins KBC for the first time
The promo is also special because it features Sunny Deol on Kaun Banega Crorepati for the first time. The veteran actor will appear alongside Aamir Khan as they promote their upcoming period drama Batwara 1947.
Fans have already expressed excitement about seeing the two actors together on the show, particularly with Amitabh Bachchan hosting the episode. The combination of three established Bollywood personalities is expected to make the episode one of the highlights of the opening week of the new season.
Aamir and Sunny are currently promoting Batwara 1947, which is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan under his production banner.

Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film is backed by Aamir Khan Productions and is scheduled to arrive in theatres on August 14. The film has also received clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification.
What is new about KBC 18?
Amitabh Bachchan is returning as the host for the new season, continuing his long association with the popular quiz show. The new season will premiere on August 10 at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, with episodes airing from Monday to Friday.
This season’s “Sochna Padega” theme focuses on the changing nature of knowledge. With information now easily available through the internet and technology, the show aims to highlight the importance of understanding information, connecting different ideas and applying knowledge intelligently.
The new theme suggests that knowing an answer may not always be enough. Contestants could be challenged to think logically, interpret situations and make connections before locking in their answers.
Amitabh Bachchan promises another entertaining season
Over the years, Amitabh Bachchan’s presence has remained one of the biggest attractions of Kaun Banega Crorepati. His interaction with contestants, emotional conversations and occasional humour have become an important part of the show’s identity.
The new promo indicates that season 18 will continue that combination while making the quiz more challenging. With Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol opening the celebrity appearances, viewers can expect plenty of entertaining conversations alongside the competition.
As the premiere approaches, the “Sochna Padega” tagline has already created curiosity among fans. And if Aamir Khan’s question to Amitabh Bachchan is anything to go by, the new season may indeed make contestants—and viewers—think a little harder.
