Will Amitabh Bachchan work with Raj and DK next?

This Diwali, Amitabh Bachchan will be joined by Varun Dhawan, Raj and DK in an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati. They will be performing their next show, Citadel: Honey Bunny. During their conversation, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about how several fans and even Abhishek Bachchan had asked him to collaborate with the director duo. Raj also expressed his desire to work with the veteran actor.

“I have been a big fan of yours since childhood. I remember a time when I couldn’t even spell your name; I used to think Amitabh Bachchan was just a word. From that moment on, I dreamed of working with you, but we didn’t know how to reach you. And here we are on KBC,” said Raj.

“Chalo, koi nahi, hum aapke ghar ke bahar khade ho jayenge. Aur ab aapko dhoondhne ki zaroorat nahi hai, hum khud hi aapko milne aa jayenge. (It doesn’t matter, I will only stay outside your house. You don’t need to look for me now, I will only come to meet you),” Amitabh said.

Amitabh continued, “But honestly, I have heard a lot about you and your work. Often, when we talk about films, your name comes up, and people always say that you are the best in the field. But tell me, how can I approach you to make a film together? Recently a lady came up to me and told me about a series, and I mentioned that I had worked on an old series that hadn’t done well. I was hesitant to start again. She said, “Sir, please work with Raj & DK; they make fantastic stories. The conversation then turned to how to approach you and DK. Now that we’ve met and I’ve told you I want to work with you, you forget about the guy sitting next to you!

Amitabh Bachchan also shared, “Many people have made me offers. Every time an offer comes, I check with Abhishek (Bachchan) and he said, “Raj and DK are the best; you have to work with them! So let’s make this happen. Raj said: “It’s a privilege and an honor. We usually celebrate Diwali with our parents in Tirupati. We never had the chance to meet you before, so DK and I think this is the biggest gift for us this Diwali.
