The Bigg Boss OTT franchise has generated significant buzz among audiences. Following the conclusion of the second season, fans are eagerly speculating about the release date, plot, and contestant list for the third season.
While numerous reports have emerged suggesting the show’s cancellation, others hint at a potential release date. To address these rumors and provide clarity, here’s everything you need to know about Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 up to date.
Bigg Boss OTT 3: Release date, time, contestants & more
While the official announcement is still awaited, earlier reports suggested that Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 would commence on May 15. However, unexpectedly, these reports did not hold the truth.
Another report from Indian Express has confirmed that the upcoming season will air in the first week of June instead. Additionally, The Khabri has also confirmed this through their Instagram account. It’s important to note that the official announcement is yet to be made.
Adding to the excitement, the makers recently teased fans with a picture on Instagram, asking them about their preferences for Season 3 contestants. They captioned, “Who do you want to see in Bigg Boss OTT 3?.”
However, the post was later deleted, raising questions among the audience. If The Khabri’s report turns out to be accurate, fans can expect the third season to begin in early June. Otherwise, they may have to wait longer for the show’s return. Talking about its timings, it will be likely to be aired at 9 pm on the Jio Cinema app.
In the meantime, the makers have reportedly approached several celebrities for the show. The list includes Shehzada Dhami, Sadakat Khan, Pratiksha Honmukhe, Sana Saeed, Arhaan Behll, Thugesh, Mohd. Saria, Rohit Khatri, Maxtern, Rohit Zinjurke, Sana Saeed, Sheezan Khan, Dalljiet Kaur, Sreerama Chandra, Aryanshi Sharma, Sankey Updahyaya, Tushar Silawar, and others.
Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 host and a major change
Amidst the anticipation surrounding Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, several reports indicate that Salman Khan will not be hosting the show. Instead, there are speculations about potential contenders who might take over the hosting duties.
Among these contenders, Elvish Yadav, Manisha Rani, and Abhishek are three notable names who might be entering as mentors in the show. However, an official announcement regarding this is awaited.
One major reason behind this potential change is the recent gunfire incident outside Salman’s residence. While some fans are disappointed with the possibility of his replacement, others agree that it would be a safer decision for Salman.
Additionally, a significant update regarding the streaming of Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 on Jio Cinema has emerged. Reportedly, the show will not be available for free viewing this time as in previous seasons.
Fans wishing to watch Season 3 episodes live must subscribe to JioCinema. Furthermore, JioCinema has teased a significant announcement around April 25 regarding Bigg Boss OTT 3. Speculations are rife that this announcement may confirm the subscription-based viewing.
Meanwhile, it will be intriguing to see whether this subscription requirement will impact Bigg Boss OTT’s viewership.
