Anil Kapoor to host TV quiz show

The actor has finally succumbed to the lure of big bucks will be hosting a quiz show this year

Anil Kapoor is all set to step into Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan's shoes. This year, Anil will be seen hosting a quiz show on TV a la Kaun Banega Crorepati!

Anil Kapoor confirms the news but refuses to shed further light on the subject, "Yes. A couple of TV channels (Sony and Star Plus) approached me to host a show for them.

Earlier, when I was approached to do judge Nach Baliye, I wasn't very comfortable with the idea.

I felt I shouldn't do it and even my family felt the same. But I am very excited about the show I will be anchoring. It is based on an American show which the production house is buying the rights for it will be something along the lines of KBC."

Apparently, the money offered has been huge running into hundreds of crores. Anil says "Yes but it's too early to talk about it."

Image-ine that!

Recently Anil was thrilled to receive two Stardust awards one for Best Film for Gandhi My Father and the other he accepted on daughter Sonam's behalf for Superstar of the Future.

Says Anil, "It's difficult to say which I was more proud of both are my babies.

It was my proudest moment though I have won many awards as an actor. But what I liked best about my award was that they called me 'the hottest film producer'. I love that tag. It goes with my image today."
