Bachchan was last seen in Shoojit Sircar's comedy-drama Gulabo Sitabo, along with Ayushmann Khurrana. The film was released directly on Amazon Prime Video as the theatres remain closed due to coronavirus pandemic. He is expected to make a comeback in the upcoming season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, but was unable to shoot because of government's directive that people older than 65 years should remain indoors.
