The actor will host Bigg Boss Kannada for four more seasons. 'The show must go on. We need to think from the perspective of the fans who loves me as the host of the show,' said Sudeep at the presser. In December 2024, Sudeep had opened up to The Hindu about the reason behind the leaving the show. 'Let me not pretend that nothing happened. Not everybody involved in the show deserve my effort. For example, I will be somewhere in North India. I travel for the show from there and see all the episodes and then get ready for the weekend episodes. It takes a lot off effort. When the effort isn't acknowledged, I feel I can put in the same amount of hard work in my films,' he said. The actor said that he sensed honesty in the request of the organisers, convincing him to change his stance. He also clarified that he wasn't bothered about the type of contestants entering the show. 'Bigg Boss needs all kinds of characters. My only demand to the organisers was that they must have a clarity behind picking contestants. As a host, I shouldn't stress myself about certain participants while I ignore the rest' ALSO READ:Sudeep interview | On 'Max', taking break from movies and what to expect from 'Billa Ranga Baasha' Meanwhile, on the work front, Sudeep has teamed up again with Anup Bhandari for Billa Ranga Baasha.
