Bigg Boss 17 update: Makers planning singles vs couples? Probable theme of Salman Khan’s show revealed

Bigg Boss OTT 2 ended almost a week back and updates on Bigg Boss 17 are already out. It was recently revealed that Abhishek Malhan and Jiya Shankar will not be a part of the show. Now, there seems to be an update on the theme of the show.

It looks like the makers are planning a theme of singles vs couples for the upcoming season of Bigg Boss. FilmiBeat has unveiled the news that the makers will reach out to singles and couples for this season of the TV show.

A source was quoted as saying, “The makers are thinking about roping in three couples and six singles contestants and have approached several known names. However, they're still discussing a few other options for this year's theme as the team wants Bigg Boss 17 to be a huge success like Bigg Boss 16.”

The makers try a new theme with every new season. Season 15 had the jungle theme and season 16 was all about the circus.

The concept of a Bigg Boss theme commenced from season 5, a year after Salman Khan joined the show as a host. Season 7 saw the hell vs heaven theme, which was the first time that the house was divided.

The Salman Khan-hosted show might see a few contestants from Bigg Boss OTT 2. Bigg Boss 17 is likely to premiere on TV either towards the end of September or beginning of October.

Apart from Abhishek and Jiya, it is unlikely that the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav joins Bigg Boss 17. Elvish has been breaking records since winning the show, the latest was through his Instagram live.

Abhishek Malhan was the runner-up of the show. The YouTuber’s brother Nischay revealed that Abhishek will not be a part of the show and will take his time to recover after being discharged from the hospital recently.
