Bigg Boss OTT Launch LIVE Updates: After last year’s COVID-delayed and rather lackluster all-celebrity season, Bigg Boss is back with a fresh set of players and a brand new format. While each Bigg Boss season is more over-the-top than the next, the makers have a special surprise in store this year with the popular reality show going fully digital and potentially even more controversial. Titled Bigg Boss OTT, the web version is set to kick off on Voot with its LIVE, 90-minute premiere at 8 pm tonight. The show, hosted by Karan Johar, will stream for six weeks, and the top performers will get a chance to be on Bigg Boss 15, to be anchored by Salman Khan.
The makers have roped in 12 contestants who will show off their “over the top” avatars to win the trophy and secure a place in Bigg Boss 15. The confirmed contestants of the show are Neha Bhasin, Zeeshan Khan, Karan Nath and Akshara Singh so far.
Speaking about the show, Karan Johar earlier said in a statement, “Being a fan of the show, I’m excited about the new elements we’ve introduced to Bigg Boss OTT. I’m eagerly waiting to see the viewers’ participation in the show that takes over the top to an altogether new higher level. Not to forget, I’m also eagerly looking forward to seeing what kinds of punishment the audiences will give to the contestants.”
