Fans are eagerly waiting to see what the digital-first season has in store, with Salman Khan returning as host for the first three months.

For context, Salman had charged Rs 96 crores for Bigg Boss OTT 2, while his fees for Bigg Boss 18 and 17 were reportedly Rs 250 crores and Rs 200 crores respectively. Since Bigg Boss 19 will also feature other guest hosts in the latter months, his pay is slightly lower than the traditional TV version but higher than previous OTT seasons. Digital-First Format and Guest Hosts Bigg Boss 19 will run for five months, with Salman Khan hosting the first three months. Afterward, guest hosts like Farah Khan, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor may take over for the remaining period. This year, the show will release fresh episodes first on Jio Hotstar, followed by Colors TV telecast after approximately one and a half hours. The promo, shot on 21st July, revolves around a political theme and marks the start of the show's digital-first marketing push.
