What's special about the KBC promo video?

The 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' promo starts with a rich, arrogant man scolding a door-to-door salesman for damaging his London carpet. The salesman finally retorts, explaining the carpet's fiber and dust-resistant qualities, proving no damage. He then offers the man some cash for his throat, suggesting it might need care after all the yelling. Amitabh Bachchan enters, stating, "Where there is scarcity, there is arrogance."

Amitabh Bachchan then sits on the hot seat, referencing his 'Agneepath' character Vijay, saying, "We have an appointment from August 11th, what say? Appointment. Speaking English." The show will air on Sony TV from August 11th, Monday to Friday at 9 pm. Fans are excited and eagerly awaiting the season's premiere.
