The director of the show, Arun Sheshkumar, spoke about his experience working with the actor and told a portal, “His energy is more than what it was during season one. Every year, Amitabh Bachchan becomes younger. He becomes like a kid on set. He tells us, 'Chalo, Aaj kya Naya Karna hai?' He enjoys the process as the kid in him is very much alive. For us, it becomes more challenging to bring in the novelty. He treats himself as part of the show, and not as a superstar. There is no one on the set who can say that Mr. Bachchan did not wave out to him.”

Arun also revealed that they have been using buggy cameras for the upcoming season and it is Big B’s favorite toy. He said, “The latest addition to the KBC set is a buggy camera. It has become Bachchan's favorite toy as it follows him around. This is the first time that such a camera is being used on a reality show. It has been used in IPL matches earlier.” The shooting schedule of the quiz-based reality show is quite hectic and everyone shoots for about 6 hours a day. The director added, “One episode is shot in three hours. We shoot two episodes per day.”
