    KBC participants seek business advice from King Khan

    Mumbai, March 26 (AP): Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan, host of a top-rated Indian TV game show, says several participants have sought advice from him about getting into the film industry.

    ``I believe quite a few want to run their business plans by me,'' the daily Mumbai Mirror quoted Khan as saying in an interview published on Monday.

    ``A few of the participants are in touch with my secretary. They have been sending e-mails to my office as well,'' Khan said.

    One of them even wants to direct a film, he said.

    Khan, 41, replaced the venerated Amitabh Bachchan as host of ``Kaun Banega Crorepati'' - based on ``Who Wants to be a Millionaire'' - in January after the latter fell sick and opted out of the program.

    The TV program offers a cash reward of Rs. 2 crores, for correctly answering 15 general-knowledge questions.

    Khan said he didn't mind people helping out, but that ``as for proposals for working together, I don't know what the future holds for me.''

    His game show is scheduled to go off the air this week and likely to resume broadcast later this year.
