Incidentally, Salman Khan’s entry into the Colors camp and Amitabh Bachchan’s entry into the Sony camp has also happened only recently. How does Sony Entertainment plan to continue its race for the top slot?

Ajit Thakur, EVP and business head, Sony, says, “With all our daily shows and reality capsules doing well, we’ll crack it before Kaun Banega Crorepati starts in October. The industry speculated that we’d climb just 30-40 points. But 108 points came as an eye-opener for many, including our top competitors.”

The war gets hotter in October. Sony Entertainment has Bachchan hosting KBC 4. Akshay Kumar will host Master Chef on Star Plus and Salman Khan will anchor Bigg Boss 4 on Colors.
