Bachchan, who recovered from Covid-19 earlier this month, visited the set for the first time since the coronavirus-induced lockdown in March forced shut film and TV shoots.

He on his blog shared his experience of shooting with a minimal crew, all wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits.

"It has begun. The chair, the atmosphere... KBC 12. Started year 2000, today year 2020. Unimaginable that the years have passed, that the show has lasted, that the nerves are back. It's a sea of limited blue on set.

"Quiet, conscious, each delegated work routine, precautions, systems, distanced masks, sanitised and the apprehensions of not just what shall happen to the show... but what shall the World look like after this dread Covid-19," Bachchan wrote.

"Recognised faces now unrecognisable and the doubts whether we are in the right place, with the right people but we muster up the fears and be on. There is great consideration and care being extended. All precautions carefully worked out and followed."
