The wait for the new season of “ Kaun Banega Crorepati” is about to end. Season 18 of the show is set to premiere on August 10, 2026 , and megastar Amitabh Bachchan will once again be seen hosting. This time, the theme of the show is “Thinking .” Ahead of the premiere, a new promo for the show has been released, featuring Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol as special guests. The fun conversation between Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan in the promo has captured the attention of fans. Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol are currently busy promoting their upcoming film “Partition 1947,” which is scheduled to release in theaters on August 14. Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta play the lead roles, while Aamir Khan is also involved in its production. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film also stars Karan Deol, Abhimanyu Singh, Ali Fazal, and Shabana Azmi.
During the film’s promotion, Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan have appeared together on the “Kaun Banega Crorepati” stage for the first time. In the show’s new promo, both actors are seen chatting with Amitabh Bachchan. Interestingly, Aamir Khan himself questions Amitabh Bachchan about the show’s new theme. At the beginning of the promo, Aamir Khan says, “You said in the promo, ‘I will have to think,’ so tell me, sir, what will I have to think about?” Amitabh Bachchan responds in his own style, saying that watching him won’t benefit Aamir. Hearing this, Aamir immediately says that he understands.
Amitabh Bachchan then further engages Aamir, saying that it’s not going to be that easy. Aamir, not one to back down, says he’ll try. Then, in his usual playful way, Amitabh Bachchan says, “I have to think about it, brother.” Then, looking at Sunny Deol, Aamir Khan says, “I will have to think about it.” Sunny Deol appears calm throughout the conversation, but is seen smiling at the banter between the two. It’s clear from the promo that this special episode of KBC is going to be quite entertaining. Along with the conversation between Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol’s presence makes the episode even more special.
“Kaun Banega Crorepati 18” will air on Sony Entertainment Television at 9 pm . The show can also be viewed on Sony LIV . Like every season, Amitabh Bachchan will be seen asking questions to the contestants, but with the “Soochna Paega” theme, the show will feature a new approach to the questions and games. Speaking of “Partition 1947,” the film will be competing at the box office with Emraan Hashmi’s “Awarapan 2.” Therefore, the presence of Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol on the KBC stage is considered crucial for the film’s promotion. It remains to be seen how well the audience responds to this special episode of KBC and how much benefit “Partition 1947” will derive from it.
