The 19th season of 'Bigg Boss', one of the most popular and controversial reality shows on television, is going to start soon. Like every year, this time too, there is tremendous curiosity among the audience about the show's host, participants, theme, prize money (Bigg Boss 19 winning prize), and especially Salman Khan's fees (Salman Khan fees Bigg Boss). Let's know how much money Salman Khan is charging for Bigg Boss 19 this time, what will be the format of the show, and what are the other big news related to it.
Salman Khan is charging Rs 120-150 crores
According to media reports, Salman Khan will charge Rs 8 to 10 crore per weekend for Bigg Boss 19. He will host the show for the first three months i.e. about 15 weeks and in return he will get a total of Rs 120-150 crore. It is worth noting that this time Salman's fee is slightly less compared to the previous seasons, because this season is considered to be an extension of the OTT version of Bigg Boss.
Bigg Boss 19 will have the longest duration to date
According to reports, Bigg Boss 19 will be telecasted for about 5 months, which will be the longest season so far. This time the show will first be aired on the OTT platform, then the episode of the same day will also be shown on the television channel. This has also reduced the cost of the producers to a great extent.
Why was there a change in Salman Khan's fees?
Last year, Salman Khan charged Rs 96 crore for Bigg Boss OTT Season 2. Whereas for the seasons with traditional format like Bigg Boss 17 and 18, his fees ranged from Rs 200 crore to Rs 250 crore. This time, due to the OTT format of the show and the changed strategy, Salman Khan's fees are also slightly less than before. Salman Khan will not be able to host the show in the last two months of the show due to his busy schedule. In such a situation, the makers have considered the names of Farah Khan, Karan Johar and Anil Kapoor as hosts. One of these can replace Salman Khan as the host. In the previous seasons too, whenever Salman has been busy, these celebrity hosts have taken over the responsibility.
How are the discussions regarding the contestants and theme?
This time the theme of Bigg Boss 19 is going to be quite political. The first promo was shot on 21st July, in which a political flavour will be seen. At present, no official information has come about the names of the contestants participating in the show, but discussions are rife about many famous personalities of TV and social media. According to the news, the popular tasks of the show are also going to return, which will refresh old memories and there is a plan to make it the most successful season.
When and where can you watch Bigg Boss 19?
The premiere of Bigg Boss 19 can be seen on JioHotstar from August 30, as well as on satellite channels. This season is going to be very special and entertaining for the audience not only in terms of presentation, but also in terms of hosting, new concepts and guests.
