The series, which premiered last Saturday on Star Plus, is an adaptation of British show "Tonight's the Night" and revolves around those, who have accomplished something extraordinary in their life.
Hussain, 38, who started shooting for the show last week, confirmed the news, saying, "It was my birthday on Monday and on Tuesday, I started shooting with him. There couldn't have been a better birthday gift for me."
On being asked about his prior experience with the 73-year-old "Piku" star, Hussain said, "I have interacted with Mr Bachchan when he had come to the Indian Idol stage to promote KBC but that was for a few minutes. Here, I will be co-hosting with him. It's a great feeling."
"Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi" aims at spreading smiles with each episode and will see a gamut of celebrities share the stage with Bachchan.
It will air every Sunday on Star Plus.
