The buzz around Bigg Boss 19 is intensifying. While actor Ram Kapoor has clarified that he will not be a part of this season, news has also emerged that the promo for Salman Khan's popular reality show will be released by the end of this month.
Entertainment: The most talked-about reality show in the television industry, 'Bigg Boss,' is returning with its 19th season to captivate audiences once again. Reports suggest that 'Bigg Boss 19' will launch in August this year, and the show's promo will be released by the end of this month. According to industry sources, the grand premiere of this season could take place on August 29th and 30th.
The most significant aspect is that this season will be longer than all previous seasons, lasting approximately five months. Furthermore, the show has been designed on a digital-first model. This means that the new episode will stream on JioHotstar one and a half hours before its television broadcast on the Colors channel.
Three More Mega Hosts to Appear with Salman Khan
Like every time, Salman Khan will kick off the show, but he will not be hosting it alone this time. According to media reports, Salman's contract has been set for only three months this time. Big names like Farah Khan, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor might also be seen taking over the reins of the show after Salman.
It is not yet clear whether one of them will continuously host the show after Salman, or whether different hosts will handle the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes each week. What is certain is that Salman Khan will return for the grand finale and announce the winner.
Initial Entry of 15 Contestants, Followed by Wild Cards
'Bigg Boss 19' will feature around 20 contestants this time, with 15 contestants entering initially. The remaining 3 to 5 contestants will join the show as wild cards during the season.
