The show , they say, must go on. But can Kaun Banega Crorepati actually do so now when its lynchpin and anchor is temporarily out of bounds?

While the delay in Mr Bachchan's films can be easily coped with KBC with its tight round-the-clock schedules seems to be in trouble.

In fact more episodes for the popular game show were to be recorded earlier this week. AB's illness has stalled KBC's game plans.

Says Star's COO Samir Nair, "What can we do? Such situations cannot be helped. We'll wait for Mr Bachchan to recover. We've already recorded episodes to be telecast until December 24. We'll just space them out to cover a larger area than originally intended."

What Star plans to do is to turn the 3-day weekend schedule for KBC into a 2-day affair until AB is back on his feet.

"That's right," reveals Samir "We'll be telecasting KBC on 2 days during the weekend, on Fridays and Saturdays, instead of 3 days. On Sundays we'll be telecasting a series of Mr Bachchan's films until he gets well and we can record the pending KBC episodes. Then we'll immediately revert to the 3-day weekend for the show."

In the meanwhile, viewers will have to make do seeing their favourite anchor just twice intead of thrice a week in their homes.

Plans for KBC Twitiya are on. "Mr Bachchan has agreed to do the third innings of KBC, and we see no reason why it won't happen," says Samir.
