The ‘Bigg’ Bang: Salman mania back with Bigg Boss 10

Bigg Boss is ready again with yet another incredible edition armed with edgy entertainment. The all-seeing all-knowing authoritarian figure of Bigg Boss who monitors the housemates’ every move, this time is all set to amuse and entertain people from two very different universes. On one hand you have the very unassuming ‘common man’, and on the other hand, the heady ‘celebrity’ brigade all set to experience 100 plus days under the same roof. Colors’ biggest reality show, Bigg Boss is all set to change the tide by giving the common man, handpicked after an extensive auditions process, an opportunity to live in the spotlight alongside celebrities. Superstar Salman Khan will return to manoeuvre this unpredictable and tumultuous journey. The Bigg Boss expedition begins on Sunday, 16 October 2016 at 9:00 PM, with subsequent episodes set to air every Monday to Friday at 10:30 PM and Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 PM on the channel.

Speaking about the launch of the show, Raj Nayak, CEO – Colors, said, “The common man rules the world. Their choices decide the fate of the Nations. Their decisions influence the fate of our shows. It’s time we welcomed them on their favourite show and gave them an experience of a lifetime. Bigg Boss this season will be a like a brand new game altogether. We will see two very strikingly contrasting worlds come side by side. While the celebrities will be image conscious, the common man contestants will be uninhibited in their approach. We are excited to tap these unharnessed energies to see what unearths. The meticulous auditions conducted threw up a gamut of people from different walks of life. From a World Bank Executive to a stand-up comedian who is also a LGBT activist, from a bus conductor to a security guard, from a self-made millionaire, to people from UK, US, Canada, UAE and the neighbouring countries. After multiple rounds of auditions, we have zeroed in on some unique common man contestants who, when locked away with the choicest celebrities, will raise the bar on entertainment under the watchful eye of our superstar host, Salman Khan.”

Back for the seventh season in a row, superstar host Salman Khan said, “This is my seventh season as host of Bigg Boss. Each season is exceptional in its own way. But with known faces, you know or at least think you know what to expect. Each time the show has surprises galore. But this time, there is a kahani mein twist. The presence of the common man promises a most uncommon season. So expect the unexpected.”

Revealing some intricate details about Bigg Boss, Manisha Sharma, Programming Head – Colors said, “We have conducted auditions in every nook and cranny of the country for this edition of Bigg Boss. Be it entries online, in-person or through mail, we have given the common man every opportunity to make their mark on the show. And the response has been phenomenal! After months of deliberation, we have our final roster of contestants who will become the next entertainment sensations. With no preconceived notions and qualms, the common man contestants will remain uninhibited in their approach, thereby challenging the sensibilities of celebrity contestants whose conduct might be more controlled. So anticipate twists with every turn in this edition of Bigg Boss.”

As the chosen formidable common man contestants prepare to create history as they step foot inside the Bigg Boss house to nudge and coax the celebrities, the next 100+ days of their lives will be peppered with unadulterated and uninhibited entertainment.

Commenting on the format of the show, Deepak Dhar, Managing Director & CEO, Endemol Shine India said, “Bigg Boss this season is going to be explosive by all means! A set of common people who so far have just been viewers of the show are about to experience a life dictated by Bigg Boss for over three months and will emerge as stars by the end of it all. We have gone above and beyond everything that we have explored over the past seasons to make tweaks in the format such that both – the common man contestants and celebrities have a truly unpredictable journey. The varied contestant mix will add value to the franchise and amplify the entertainment avenues unlike ever before.”

Watch out for the fun!!!
