Production

Shyla CK, a contestant from Idukki, was the first to win 50,00,000 rupees on the program, the top prize for that season. She got the 14th question, worth 50 lakhs, right but chose to stop before the final question. That season’s tagline translated to “One Question Is Enough For Life To Change.” The second season began on 4 March 2013. On its third day, Sangeetha, a woman with a disability from Painavu, won 25,00,000 rupees. For the first time, the season featured an “All Asianet Serial Celebrities Week” starting 15 April 2013. Sanooja Rajan became the show’s first Crorepati, with that moment airing on Asianet on 30 April 2013. The second season’s tagline meant “No Knowledge is Small, It Is The Blessing Of God.” A “Kids special episode” premiered on Asianet on 27 May, and due to audience requests, it continued from 8 July 2013. The third season started on 29 December 2014 with an opening song by K S Chitra. It introduced a timer of 45 seconds for questions one through five and 60 seconds for questions six through ten. The lifeline “Double Dip” replaced “Fifty-Fifty,” and an extra lifeline called “Code Red” let family members warn the contestant if they thought an answer was wrong. The season also had a new intro and a partially replaced soundtrack. Asianet announced the fourth season in late 2016, publishing the first entry question on 7 November 2016 at 6:30 pm. Suresh Gopi hosted this season, which launched on 16 January 2017 with Sujatha Mohan and Swetha Mohan singing the inaugural song “Allah thero Naah.” The season featured minor changes, new graphics, a new intro, an updated studio, and the return of the “Fifty-Fifty” lifeline instead of “Double Dip.” A special round with school students as contestants aired from 1 May to 10 May 2017, then from 5 June to 9 June 2017, and again from 19 June to 23 June 2017.
