Amitabh Bachchan to star in new TV show

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to appear in an upcoming TV show "Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi".

The 72-year-old actor is expected to don a never-been-seen avatar in the new show.

"Having started my television journey with STAR India, I was always looking to associate with Star Plus again. However I was keen that we come together for a befitting show that carries forward the legacy," said Bachchan, who hosts gaming reality show "Kaun Banega Crorepati".

He also starred in fiction miniseries "Yudh".

"When I heard about Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi, I instantly connected with it. I genuinely believe that media is a powerful vehicle to inspire change but we have to achieve this in an entertaining manner. What I love about this show is that it is a thoroughly entertaining show, but has its heart in the right place. I am really looking forward to it," he said in a statement.
