Magnetic personality' Theatre Owners' Association president Udharam Thadani said he had asked Bachchan's actor son Abhishek to try and persuade his father to change the show's time. If things continue the way they are, our trade will be almost finished. Amitabh Bachchan has such a magnetic, compelling personality. A lot of people just watch the show to be able to see him perform.
Nobody is interested in coming to the theatres when the game show is on.
Mr Thadani said the show could be broadcast in the morning, or at 2200 instead of the present time of 2100.
