“Salman Khan is the king of the small screen, and the best face to replace Amitabh Bachchan is him, as he also has a strong connect with the audience in the smaller centres. Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan has also hosted KBC, and if everything goes well, Salman will be the newest to take the television sets by storm,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.

It is being heard that the negotiations for the financials are going on in full swing at the moment.

“Get ready to tune into Sony as Salman Khan might host the biggest and most popular quiz show of India as Amitabh Bachchan will be stepping back from KBC due to personal reasons,” the source said.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan will also be hosting the next season of Bigg Boss, and is gearing up to start shooting for director Apoorva Lakhia’s next film from July.
