Bigg Boss 9 Telugu is just a month away from its premiere, and there is already a lot of buzz surrounding it. We at OTTplay have been bringing you regular updates about the show and its contestants on a regular basis.
Singer Sri Teja to join the show
Just the other day, we revealed that the show will start on August 2, where commoners will participate in a few tasks to get shortlisted for the final entry into the show along with celebrities.
Continuing with our updates, we have now learned that popular singer Sri Teja is all set to grace the show. He has been roped in under the “Singer” category. Sri Teja is a well-known name in Telugu cinema and has sung several hit numbers. However, he is more popular on social media and is known for his unique lifestyle. That is why the makers felt he would be a perfect fit for the show.
In the past, we also reported that ex-contestants like Vijay, Sunny, Manas, and Priyanka Jain have already been roped in to take part this season. In the coming days, more names of participants will be revealed.
Akkineni Nagrjuna to host Bigg Boss for the sixth time
Akkineni Nagarjuna is once again hosting the show, and as we had reported earlier, he is actively involved in finalizing the contestants. According to a source from the unit, when Sri Teja’s name was revealed to Nagarjuna, he was quite pleased.
Though this news has not been officially confirmed by the makers, it has already gone viral on social media. After last year’s criticism about casting lesser-known faces, the makers are now bringing in some big names to make this season more happening. Let’s wait and see how it all unfolds.
