In a recent interview, Amitabh Bachchan was asked what he thinks of Shah Rukh hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), a role Bachchan himself played previously, he says: "Shah Rukh is fine. I hadn't seen Shah Rukh's KBC, but recently I did and I thought that it was fine."

He added that the format of the show was more impressive than any host it featured.

Often Shah Rukh has been compared with Bachchan, most recently with the lead role in the new version of Don, now KBC.

With the new Don in mind, Bachchan was asked if there is any of SRK's roles he would like to do, Bachchan said: "If ever I was of his age and if I wanted to do it, I would like to do Swades."
