Bigg Boss has become one of the most loved shows across the country. As much as Bigg Boss Hindi has gained popularity, its regional versions have also gained audience over the years. While Bigg Boss Hindi is being hosted by Salman Khan for several years now, Bigg Boss Tamil has Kamal Haasan, Bigg Boss Kannada has Kichcha Sudeep and Bigg Boss Malayalam has Mohanlal as hosts. Bigg Boss Telugu, on the other hand, is all set to see Nagarjuna Akkineni as the host for the third time. The series launched with Jr NTR as the host of the first season. Second season of Bigg Boss Telugu was hosted by Nani. Later, the makers roped in Nagarjuna.

 

The Star Maa has scheduled to air the program at 10 pm from Monday to Friday while it will be telecasted at 9 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Akkineni Nagarjuna who will be hosting the Big Boss for the third time has given hint that there will be more fun and entertainment this time around.

 

‘Bigg Boss 5’ has selected some popular faces which include Anchor Ravi, actress Priya, Shanmukh Jaswanth, Umadevi, Indian Idol fame Sreerama Chandra. It also has not-so-popular ones like Hamida, Priyanka Singh, Lobo, and Anee. 

 

The Bigg Boss contestants were said to have undergone quarantine for a period as a part of COVID protocol. It is also said that the contestants would enter the Bigg Boss house after undergoing RTPCR tests.

 

Exactly a year after the fourth season of Bigg Boss Telugu was aired, the fifth season gets underway. Nagarjuna leads the proceedings this time too, and the makers are promising an end to 'boredom'. The Tollywood star called the show 'fulfilling' and that it catered to all age groups. 

 

Nagarjuna stated that the last few months had been tough for everyone and thus, the endeavor of the show was to bring joy in the lives of fans through 'best-in-class entertainment.' The actor stated that as an artist, he was looking forward to representing and bringing forward the 'true feelings' of the contestants so that viewers could understand them better. The 62-year-old added that he was delighted to be a part of a show that was 'entertaining every member of the family.'
