Kaun Banega Crorepati is set to commence with its 15th season completing 23 years of entertaining and fulfilling the dreams of many contestants. Not just the winning amount but it is Big B's humble gestures and fun-loving personality that leaves every contestant awestruck. With the fresh season, there are some fresh perspectives waiting for the viewers.

A new promo of the show reveals a heartwarming moment. The young contestant from Gadhada, Gujarat touches Big B's heart with her gesture. When Amitabh Bachchan pulls the chair to make her sit she refuses and instead insists on doing the same for him. She said, "Sir, aapki jo age agar ulti kar dijye na toh woh meri age hai. Toh main chahti hu ki sir main aapko bithau." (If you reverse your age that's how young I am. So I insist I make you sit on your seat.)

Prabhas' highly anticipated film Adipurush, which garnered much attention due to its extravagant budget and controversy, is now available for streaming on the OTT platform Prime Video as well as Netflix. Due to its lackluster performance at the box office and largely negative reviews, the film failed to strike a chord with the audience. 

The movie's OTT release is somewhat of a surprise, with no prior notice made about it by the makers. Amazon Prime Video and Netflix have secured the digital rights to Adipurush, ensuring that fans across the country can enjoy this pan-Indian production. Both platforms made the official announcement on Friday morning, sharing the news on their respective social media handles.
