The latest season for Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 is set to premiere on September 28. The show will air from Monday to Friday at 9 pm IST. However, this season will differ from all previous seasons as there will be no live audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SOP for the filming of TV shows has severely restricted the number of people allowed on sets. Because of this restriction, a large audience is completely impossible. Moreover, large crowds are also a major health risk for everyone involved in the project. The host of the show, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan, himself suffered from COVID-19 and just recently recovered from the disease back in August.

Moreover, the filming for episodes was also restrictive and all people on set had to follow strict guidelines. All contestants had to self-quarantine at a hotel for a while before they were allowed in the KBC set. All crew members also had to wear personal protective gear during the shooting to minimize the threat of the disease.

While Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 will be different from previous seasons, it still marks a special occasion for the show's host Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan has been associated with the show for two decades now. The actor first started filming for the show in 2000. He has also hosted all seasonS except one.
