The controversial reality show Bigg Boss has been creating quite a buzz amid rumours of this season's cancellation. Initial reports hinted at conflicts between the production house and the channel, leading to speculation that the show might be cancelled or shifted to another network. However, the latest updates reveal that Bigg Boss will return soon, featuring some format changes. While many popular names are rumoured to join, reports specifically suggest that Splitsvilla fame Harsh Arora is likely to participate this year.
As per a Tellychakkar report, the OTT format for Bigg Boss was initially phased out entirely this year. But now, the showrunners are planning a big twist with Bigg Boss OTT 4's return in August, this time with none other than Salman Khan as host. If this goes through, Bigg Boss OTT 4 would be followed by Bigg Boss Season 19, which is expected to air in October. Confirming the same, a source told Indian Express, 'What is sure is that the show will happen with the Viacom group, mostly on Jio Hotstar, however, clarity on the same is yet to come. As of now, it's not decided if the OTT version will air first or the TV version; it might just happen in the same old way it has been running all this while."
Moreover, it was reported that the upcoming season of Bigg Boss would feature only TV and film stars. There will be no social media influencers or YouTubers. Latest reports suggest that Harsh Arora, a former contestant on MTV Splitsvilla, has been approached for Bigg Boss. He was a popular contestant from his previous show, and his strategies were crucial to his success. Salman Khan is set to start filming the next season's promo around the end of June. The cast is yet to be confirmed.
Earlier, the Bigg Boss 18 trophy was lifted by Karanveer Mehra. The actor had to compete against Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal for the award. While Vivian was the first runner-up, Rajat finished second, followed by Avinash Mishra and Chum Darang. Sana Makbul had won Bigg Boss OTT 3.
