Shah Rukh Khan is practically hopping studios to promote his science fiction Ra.One. He is putting all his might together to make his dream project a blockbuster.

This time he decides to sit on the hot seat of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Ra.One's spokesperson Nilofer Qureshi said, "Yes, Shah Rukh will feature in one of the episodes of KBC".

Shah Rukh will be bombarded with questions from none other than the host of the show, superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Bachchan himself seemed very excited and tweeted: SrBachchanAmitabh, "T 516 - ShahRukh drops by on set to say Hi ! Will be promoting his film on KBC .. will record with him on 7th !!"

This popular game show based on the UK original 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' offers winners with a jackpot of Rs 5 crore (approx. Dh 3.7m). The show is in its 5th edition this year.

SRK was earlier associated with KBC when he hosted the show in its third edition in 2007. But obviously King Khan won't think twice to visit KBC again in the last leg of his promotional spree.  After he finished his shoot with Bachchan, Shah Rukh tweeted: iamsrk, "kbc was fun though i am sure very tiring for mr.b.. hats off to him." 

These days every TV reality show has one thing is common - Shah Rukh Khan. The fans saw him in three grand finales of TV reality shows in one night. He was in Hrithik Roshan's dance show 'Just Dance' on Star Plus, 'India's Got Talent' on Colors and 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L`il Champs' on Zee TV.

Shah Rukh is leaving no stone unturned to see to that Ra.One breaks all box office records and confirms his supremacy in Bollywood. SRK who is losing his sleep over Ra.One himself agrees that the promotion is extensive; he tweets: "attended so many press meets in last 4 days...all journalist & me r feeling we r deja vu (ing) or stuck in the ground hog's day".

Sources from KBC told Emirates 24|7, "Shah Rukh Khan's episode in KBC will be telecast as a special edition on Diwali".

However if SRK's publicists are to be believed, SRK did not go to KBC for any promotional purpose. "Shah Rukh is definitely going to KBC but he won't be promoting Ra.One, for rest of the information you will have to ask the team of KBC," said the spokesperson.

Promotion or not, audiences certainly want to see more of their King Khan. And SRK is certainly making sure he is seen everywhere possible and his fans will lock the date he appears on KBC with Big B.
