Sudeep game for Bigg Boss Kannada

Kiccha Sudeep is fully charged to take up his second small-screen assignment. The actor, who is busy filming Bachchan, will be hosting the Kannada version of Bigg Boss.

The Veera Madarkari star had earlier hosted Pyate Hudgeer-Halli Lifu, a reality show made by Suvarna. Now, Sudeep is excited to appear once again through Bigg Boss Kannada. He will be seen in completely different avatar that will be different from Salman Khan, who is the host of Bigg Boss Hindi.

Talking about the show, Kiccha said, "Bigg Boss is all about human emotions and it isn't particularly a formatted show. It is a reality show in the true sense and is both quick and spontaneous. I am very happy to be associated with the biggest television show of Karnataka market." The show will be aired on ETV Kannada and it is likely to kick start from March.

Parameshwar Gundkal, Programming Head, ETV Kannada, said, "Television content is all about storytelling. It deals with emotions and drama of everyday life. Bigg Boss deals with this fact in by far the biggest way. This is the best show available for viewers to get up close and personal with their favourite celebrities." Commenting on bringing the format to the Kannada GEC space, he said, "Bigg Boss is our next unique offering that will further accelerate and add momentum to our existing bouquet of shows."
