The anticipation for Bigg Boss Telugu 9 has reached fever pitch with the release of the latest promo for its pre-show, Agnipariksha. The tagline 'The BIGG before the BIGGEST' sets the tone for a fiery battle, as hopefuls compete for a coveted entry ticket into the Bigg Boss house. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The promo features former Bigg Boss contestant Sreemukhi, who introduces a ground-breaking twist in the selection of commoner contestants: 'The spotlight you all have been dreaming of... This is your entry ticket to the Bigg Boss Season 9 house. But here, the spotlight and the entry ticket won't come easily.' Adding to the excitement is the introduction of a high-profile judging panel featuring three Bigg Boss alumni—Abijeet, the winner of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 4; , the winner of Bigg Boss Telugu OTT; and Navdeep, a top finalist from Bigg Boss Telugu Season 1. From August 22 to September 5, the trio will assess shortlisted commoner contestants through a series of personal interviews and meticulously crafted tasks. These challenges are designed to test participants' physical endurance, mental agility, and emotional resilience. Based on their performance, a select few will earn the opportunity to enter the Bigg Boss house. With superstar Nagarjuna returning as host, Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is set to raise the stakes higher than ever with its innovative format, including a much-talked-about 'double house' twist. The main season is expected to premiere shortly after Agnipariksha, which has already created a massive buzz with this fresh, competitive selection format.

Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 is all set to stream on JioHotstar from September 7, 2025. For the first time in Telugu Bigg Boss history, there will be a pre-show ahead of the grand opening. Titled Agnipariksha, this show will have 15 commoners taking part in a few tasks. Out of the 15, three will be finalized and will enter the house along with other participants selected by the judges. Bindu, Navdeep and Abijeet to host Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9's Agnipariksha The shooting of Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Agnipariksha has started in Annapurna Studios, and we have come to know that popular actors Navdeep, Bindu Madhavi, and Abijeet have been roped in to judge the show. All the three have graced the show as contestants in the past. Out of them, Abijeet and Bindu Madhavi have also been winners. They will choose the final three commoners, as the makers want to create hype for the main event even before the actual episodes start. Telugu social media influencers to be a part of Agnipariksha Some very popular social media influencers have been picked for the Bigg Boss Agnipariksha. We have also exclusively learned that Bigg Boss 9 Telugu will have two houses this season, one hosting commoners and the other housing celebs. The makers have planned things in such a way that commoners will take on the celebs to move ahead in the show. This concept of everyone getting an equal chance to take part in the reality show is quite interesting. Akkineni Nagarjuna will host the ninth season, and he has been paid big bucks for it. You can stream Bigg Boss 9 Telugu via OTTplay Premium. The entire shoot will happen in Annapurna Studios, and a special set is being erected for the same. If you like such masala-filled reality shows, stream Sarkaar 5, Indian Idol, and Chef Mantra on OTTplay Premium.
