Bollywood actor and Kaun Banega Crorepati host Amitabh Bachchan decided to bring hockey into his show in the upcoming “Shandaar Shukrawar“. In a promo clip shared by Sony Entertainment Television on Instagram, Amitabh Bachchan scored a goal as he played hockey with goalkeeper Olympian PR Sreejesh.
In a promo video, a hockey goal post was installed to the set and both PR Sreejesh and Amitabh were given hockey sticks. Amitabh asked Sreejesh, “Yeh jis tarah se aap goal save karte hai yeh humko dikhayenge aap yaha (Will you show us how you keep goals)?”
As Amitabh Bachchan tried to score goals, Sreejesh initially blocked the strokes. However, after a few attempts, Amitabh managed to score a goal. He shouted with joy after his accomplishment.

In another promo video, Sreejesh asked Amitabh if he had ever featured in a Haryanvi movie. While the actor revealed that he hadn’t, he did say that he was asked to deliver a few lines in Haryanvi in a movie.
“Aaj humlog aye hain dono aapko Haryanvi seekhane (Today we’ve come to teach you Haryanvi),” Sreejesh informed Amitabh. To this, the actor’s instant reaction was, “Hey bhagwaan (Oh my god).”
Earlier this week, Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 had confirmed that Neeraj Chopra and PR Sreejesh would be participating in the show. The two sports personalities, who represented India at the Tokyo Olympics, appeared on the show with their medals.
At the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics, Neeraj Chopra won India’s first gold medal in the javelin throw. PR Sreejesh was part of the men’s hockey team which won the bronze medal.
