Saif,Deepika to appear on KBC 5

“The second episode towards the evening will have invites to Saif and Deepika… who come to promote their film and mine as well – ‘Aarakshan’!” wrote Bachchan on his blog.

“In many ways the philosophy of the film and that of KBC is quite similar. Given the opportunity,even the lesser privileged shall prosper. Or at least have the capacity to prosper,” he added.

Directed by Prakash Jha,’Aarakshan’ will see Bachchan portraying the role of Prabhakar Anand,a principal,who is against reservations in the education system. The socio-political film is set to release on August 12.

Saif had earlier appeared with actress Preity Zinta in the second season of the show,while Deepika came as a guest last year although she didn’t play.
