Meanwhile, Bigg Boss OTT season 3 is scheduled to premiere on June 21. This time, Anil Kapoor will host the show. Salman Khan has been replaced. The makers released a new teaser recently, and it sets the tone for an exciting season.
Earlier, speaking about hosting the popular reality show, Anil Kapoor said, “Bigg Boss OTT and I are a dream team! We’re both young at heart; people often say – jokingly – that I’m reverse ageing, but Bigg Boss is – seriously- timeless. It feels a bit like going back to school, trying something new and exciting. Having said that, I’ve always approached all my projects with sincerity and a commitment to hard work, and I’m going to bring that same energy times 10 to Bigg Boss!”
