KBC director on how Akshay, Katrina and Rohit paid tribute to host Amitabh Bachchan on the Diwali special episode

As part of his tribute, Kumar wore Bachchan’s iconic jacket from Yaarana
To celebrate the upcoming festival of lights, the team of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) has lined up special episodes with the Diwali theme. The final episode of the week sees actors Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and director Rohit Shetty on the hot seat opposite Amitabh Bachchan. Besides putting their general knowledge to the test, the Sooryavanshi trio will pay tribute to the megastar host in their unique way.
KBC director Arun Sheshkumar says that Kumar sprang a surprise during the taping of the episode by dancing to Bachchan’s song, Sara zamana from Yaarana (1981). “Akshay went backstage, and came back wearing a jacket with lights on it. Amitji noted that Akshay was wearing a battery-operated jacket. He recalled that during the shoot, he had to wear a 220-watt jacket with a live wire in it. He joked that while people felt he was dancing, he was getting shocks in reality,” laughs Sheshkumar.
