After
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
and
Tamil's
success,
the
makers
of
Bigg
Boss
Kannada
are
all
set
to
make
a
comeback
with
the
new
season.
The
popular
reality
show
which
has
completed
7
seasons
so
far,
will
be
returning
with
a
brand
new
avatar.
Bigg
Boss
Kannada
8
hosted
by
Kiccha
Sudeep,
will
go
on
air
post-Sankranthi.
Interestingly,
the
season
will
only
have
celebrities
from
the
entertainment
industry
including
film
actors,
television
stars
and
popular
social
media
artists.
A
picture
of
Kiccha
Sudeep
having
a
discussion
about
the
show
with
telecasting
channel
Colors
Kannada's
business
head
Parameshwar
Gundkal
has
now
gone
viral
on
the
internet.
The
latter
has
captioned
the
picture
as,
"New
Season
of
Bigg
Boss
Kannada
is
under
construction."
As
per
a
recent
report,
the
show
will
kick
off
its
journey
from
the
third
week
of
January
2021.
Times
of
India
has
quoted
Parameshwar
Gundkal
as
saying,
"We
have
decided
to
go
ahead
with
the
show
post-Sankranthi/
Pongal
and
will
feature
only
celebrities.
There
will
be
15
of
them.
We
have
already
begun
touching
base
with
possible
contestants."
Parmeshwar
also
stated
that
controversies
regarding
contestants
are
not
the
motive
of
the
show,
unlike
the
general
perception.
He
said,
"We
have
had
good
ratings
when
the
show
was
celebrity-driven
and
equally
encouraging
when
the
programme
also
had
common
folk.
And
unlike
popular
perception,
it
is
not
episodes
that
have
fights
that
fetch
TRPs,
but
the
emotionally-loaded
ones
that
have
grabbed
eyeballs.
Also,
controversy
is
not
the
motive
of
the
show.
Perception
and
reality
are
very
different."
Talking
about
Sudeep's
commitment
towards
the
show,
he
revealed
that
the
actor
is
elated
to
be
a
part
of
the
show
yet
again.
He
added
that
the
senior
actor
doesn't
have
schedules
abroad
as
of
now,
and
will
be
available
to
host
during
the
weekend
episode
as
he
will
mostly
be
shooting
his
films
in
Hyderabad
and
Bengaluru
in
2021.
Well,
we
are
sure
the
mini-screen
audiences
are
highly
thrilled
with
the
news
and
are
eagerly
waiting
to
welcome
Kiccha
Sudeep
for
the
eighth
time.
Let
us
tell
you
that
unlike
other
seasons,
the
contestants
of
Bigg
Boss
Kannada
8
will
undergo
COVID-19
tests
and
will
be
quarantined
before
entering
the
house.
Reportedly,
a
team
of
expert
doctors
will
be
monitoring
the
contestants
with
body
checkups
once
they
are
inside
the
house.
