The promo is set in a village, in the first scene we are told that the villagers are short on a whopping sum of 25 lakhs to build a school. After mulling over ways to get money, the villagers come across a TV promo for KBC registrations and decide to enrol in the show. Despite the whole village putting together their brain power for the show, the barber of the village gets selected leaving everyone bewildered. Interestingly, the story isn't over at that and makers leave viewers with a 'To be continued..' cliffhanger.

Earlier, there were reports claiming that the show will air on August 23, however, there's been no official confirmation on the same by the makers. Additionally, there has also been speculation that the show's format has undergone a change due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the work front, Amitabh will be next seen in Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra’ which will also star Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. The film also has Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dimple Kapadia and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles. He also has a part in Nag Ashwin’s untitled next starring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. 

Then he will be also seen in Rumy Jafry’s ‘Chehre’ co-starring Emraan Hashmi and Rhea Chakraborty in lead roles.
