After Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood’s ‘Mr
Perferctionist’, Aamir Khan has been approached to become the next celebrity
host of India’s popular reality game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 4.’ Though
Aamir hasn’t accepted the offer he has not as yet declined it too. Rumor is
that the only hurdle in this deal is the price offered to the star.
It is believed that Aamir Khan has been offered a lot more than Shah Rukh
(Rs 75 lakh per episode). According to sources, “Aamir’s initial reaction was
to decline the offer for the very reason why he was approached. ‘KBC’ had
already been done by two other superstars. He didn’t want to generate
unnecessary comparisons. Also he had decided to set aside the whole year to put
finishing touches to his productions.”
When enquired, Siddhartha Basu, the ‘KBC’ producer quipped, “It’s too early
to talk about the next season of ‘KBC.’ Sony Pictures, who now owns the game
show, might have had initial discussions with Aamir. But the details for the
next season will take a long time to formulate.”. Aamir refused to comment on
this.
