This season’s grand opening will feature a star-studded lineup, with popular actors Nani, Rana Daggubati, SJ Suryah, and Nivetha Thomas appearing as special guests.

The launch day will see 14 contestants entering the Bigg Boss house, with additional contestants joining during the fifth week. The season also introduces wild card entries, including former contestants from previous seasons, a first for the show. Names like Anchor Shiva, Nayani Pavani, and Shobha Shetty are being speculated for these spots.

Arjun Ambati will be hosting ‘Bigg Boss Buzz,’ a segment dedicated to exit interviews with evicted housemates. The list of confirmed participants includes Aditya Om, Bezawada Bebakka, Abhay Naveen, Yashmi Gowda, and others.

The grand launch will air on Star Maa at 7 PM, with live streaming available on Disney Plus Hotstar.
