News: Big B To Replace Shah Rukh On 'Millionaire'

Amitabh Bachchan has reportedly been asked to return as host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? after replacement Shah Rukh Khan was dropped by its producers.

Big B hosted the first series but was forced to give up because of a serious illness.

Shah Rukh then took over hosting duties for the third series of Kaun Banega Crorepati?, as it is known in India.

Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, an insider said: "Bachchan and Shah Rukh, respectively, brought their distinct individuality on the table, but frankly speaking, Shah Rukh’s histrionics did not do go down well with the audience."
