Talking
about
the
show,
Ravish
Kumar,
Executive

Channels,
ETV
Kannada
said,
"After
Bigg
Boss
took
Karnataka
by
storm,
we
needed
another
format
that
would
keep
our
viewers
hooked.
14
people
camping
in
one
Bigg
Boss
house
generated
so
much
valuable
content,
so
when
14
contestants
camp
for
14
weeks
across
India
we
hope
that
the
content
will
be
just
as
compelling
and
intriguing."
