Amitabh Bachchan, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, Uunchai, recently hosted his co-stars Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Neena Gupta on his popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. During the show, Big B requested the public to watch their film and asked them to visit the theatres to watch it.
In the special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati with the whole Uunchai team in attendance, the superstar said, "Theatre jakar, ticket khareed kar picture dekhne ka jo maza hai vo kujh aur hi hota hai. Kripya karke jaiyega theatre mein humari tasveere dekhne, aajkal badi maramari chal ri hai, koi ja hi nahi raha hai theatre mein. Haad jodte hain hum aapke, ticket lekar jaiyega (Going to theatre and watching the film gives a different joy. Please go in theatres to watch us, there is a problematic situation going on, people are not ready to go theatres these days. I join my hands and request you to watch our movie in theatres)."
During the show, Neena Gupta made a lighthearted comment about ticket prices dropping from Rs.300-400 to Rs.150 and urged Amitabh to update the audience about this as well.
