Sony Entertainment Television opened the phone lines for KBC 4 on August 2 at 9 pm and it received more than 5 lakh calls in the first 15 minutes from all over India for the question asked by the host Big B.

Since then, he asked a new question everyday for eights days. The total number of callers has now reached to five crore, as per the channel's data.

The head of marketing, Sony Entertainment, Danish Khan admits that it is their strategy to attract more audience to the 9 pm slot. He said, "Considering the popularity of KBC, we knew lots of viewers would call up to answer the questions to register. Hence, we thought to bring a new question everyday to increase the reach of the show".

The software records the detail automatically and selects randomly some people, who can appear for the auditions to be conducted in six Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Nagpur, and Lucknow from September 1 to September 6.
