The new anchor
It cannot get bigger than this. Shah Rukh Khan is the new anchor of the popular show "Kaun Banega Crorepati" on STAR Plus. King Khan in the hot seat is going to push up the TRPs as the show is poised to garner record advertisement revenues. Though STAR India has not taken a final decision, "KBC-3" will surely be dubbed into Tamil and telecast on Vijay TV. Says Sameer Nair, CEO, STAR Entertainment: "KBC has redefined television viewing in India. And with Shah Rukh as the new host, we promise to give our audiences a whole new entertainment experience.
Mythology sells!
