Actor Manoj Bajpayee joined Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 alongside his Family Man 3 castmates Jaideep Ahlawat and Sharib Hashmi, where he converted a famous line from host Amitabh Bachchan's film Deewaar into Bhojpuri dialect. Bachchan responded by delivering his own version of another memorable line from the same movie in the regional language. Sony TV promoted the episode through social media ahead of its broadcast.
Bajpayee described his return as Srikant Tiwari in the upcoming season as a meaningful comeback after four years of audience inquiries about the character's return. The actor praised creators Raj and DK for their storytelling vision while noting that the new installment promises increased intensity and higher stakes for his character, who faces unprecedented challenges. He expressed confidence that viewers will embrace the expanded narrative and continue supporting the series through Prime Video.
