Reality show ‘Bigg Boss 19’ can start on Jio Hotstar from 30 August. This time the show will be digital-Film, ie new episodes will first come on OTT and colors will be shown on TV after about one and a half hours.
This time the season will be longer than before. It is being told that this season will last for 5 months. The first three months Salman Khan will host the show and guest hosts will be brought in the last two months.
Stars like Farah Khan, Karan Johar and Anil Kapoor can be seen as guest hosts later in the show.
Salman Khan has been associated with Bigg Boss since 2010. He started hosting the show from season 4.
According to The Indian Express report, Salman will host the show for 15 weeks this season.
A source said that Salman will get around 8 to 10 crores every week. Overall, their fees can range from 120 to 150 crores.
Earlier, Salman got Rs 250 crore for Bigg Boss 18 and Rs 200 crore for Bigg Boss 17.
Both of these seasons broadcast on TV. At the same time, his fee for Bigg Boss OTT 2 was Rs 96 crore. This time due to primary streaming on OTT, the budget of the show has been kept smaller than before.
Salman’s show ‘Bigg Boss’ is based on the format of the Dutch show ‘Big Brother’. It started on 3 November 2006 in India.
The source said that since the show will be released on OTT first and then on TV, it is being considered as OTT extension. That is why Salman’s fees are more than Bigg Boss Ott 2 this time, but not as much as the TV version.
Although the names of the contestants have not been confirmed yet, the names of about 20 celebs are in discussion.
These include names like Gautami Kapoor, Dheeraj Dhupar, Alisha Panwar, Khushi Dubey, Gaurav Taneja, Mr. Fasu, Apoorva Mukhija, Purav Jha, Gaurav Khanna, Dhanashree Verma, Shriram Chandra, Arshifa Khan and Mikki Makeover.
