The iconic tune of KBC is well known for everyone but now the blockbuster Marathi film Sairat's composer duo Ajay Atul is going to add a special touch to the show's tune.

Talking about the new tune, Ajay Atul said, "It's an honor for us to be associated with an iconic show as Kaun Banega Crorepati. When we were approached for the KBC tune, the question for us was not what we can do with it, but how much leap could we take with a melody that has already been etched in the minds of millions," the duo said.

"However, we are happy with the new flavor we have managed to infuse. It has an orchestral symphony that makes the original melody sound more epic and magnificent. We hope this composition strikes a chord with the audience, just like the original one," added the composers, known for their contribution to films such as Dhadak, Brothers, and Singham.
