Amitabh Bachchan has stepped into a bold new pop-culture avatar for Kaun Banega Crorepati, delivering a powerful rap anthem built around the show’s latest theme, ‘Sochna Padega’. Sony Entertainment Television has launched the new campaign following the return of Kaun Banega Crorepati on 10 August 2026.
The campaign combines Amitabh Bachchan’s unmistakable baritone with a contemporary beat and a striking new visual style. The rap reinforces the central message of the new KBC season – having access to information is not enough; contestants must be able to think, understand and apply their knowledge.

Amitabh Bachchan Performs KBC Rap Anthem
Sony Entertainment Television’s new campaign gives Amitabh Bachchan a never-seen-before look, transforming the legendary KBC host into a stylish rap performer.
The visual presentation has Amitabh Bachchan dressed in a statement white fur coat, oversized dark sunglasses, layered gold chains and a geometric hoodie. He walks through illuminated corridors before taking his place on a chandelier-lit throne.
The contemporary presentation is paired with the voice that has been synonymous with Kaun Banega Crorepati for years.
At the heart of the rap is a simple message from Big B:
“Yeh KBC hai, yahan sochna padega pyaro…”
The line captures the larger philosophy behind the campaign and the new season.
What Does ‘Sochna Padega’ Mean for KBC?
The ‘Sochna Padega’ theme celebrates the importance of applied intelligence.
Information and facts are now readily accessible through devices in people’s pockets, but Kaun Banega Crorepati puts the emphasis on something different – the ability to think on your feet and apply what you know.
The campaign therefore moves beyond simply celebrating knowledge. It highlights how contestants need to understand information, make decisions and use their knowledge confidently when an opportunity arrives.
Amitabh Bachchan’s rap transforms that idea into an entertaining campaign anthem designed for the current season.
Big B Gets a Pop-Culture Makeover
Amitabh Bachchan’s visual transformation is one of the biggest attractions of the campaign.
Rather than presenting him only in the familiar sophisticated style associated with the KBC hot seat, the campaign gives the host a swag-filled contemporary makeover.
The gold chains, sunglasses, white coat and dramatic surroundings contrast with his familiar KBC persona, while his legendary voice provides the connection between the show’s established identity and its new campaign.
The result is a playful interpretation of Amitabh Bachchan’s screen presence without losing the central message of the quiz show.
Kaun Banega Crorepati on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV
Kaun Banega Crorepati returned on 10 August 2026, with Amitabh Bachchan once again hosting the popular television quiz show.
The programme airs on Sony Entertainment Television, while viewers can also access KBC through Sony LIV.
With the launch of the Sochna Padega rap anthem, the channel is extending the new season’s theme beyond the quiz itself and into a distinctive promotional campaign.
Through its message of applied intelligence, Kaun Banega Crorepati encourages viewers and contestants to trust their knowledge, think carefully and confidently seize opportunities.
And with Amitabh Bachchan delivering that thought as a rap, Sochna Padega brings an unexpected new flavour to one of Indian television’s most recognisable quiz shows.
