Not only has the show got a swanky new set for season 11 but the show also has made some upgrades to the technology used to shoot the show. KBC this season will have something called a ‘buggy’ cam that will shoot some dramatic shots of the audiences, contestants and the host Amitabh Bachchan.
The lifeline ‘phone a friend’ has been scrapped this season and brought back the option called ‘flip’. The participants can switch the question using ‘flip’ and for that they need to pick out 10 subjects before the game starts and the computer will switch the original question with one from the chosen subjects. The participants will have three other lifelines in the game that include audience poll, 50:50 and ask the expert.
