Superstar Salman Khan is coming back with a fresh new season of Bigg Boss OTT and was shooting for the promo of Bigg Boss OTT 2 with rapper-singer Raftaar on Saturday at Filmcity. The last season was hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar.
A source close to the show shared with indianexpress.com that Salman Khan confirmed his presence a few days ago. “While a few contestants are almost locked, conversations with others are at different stages. The makers want to make an official announcement with Salman via a promo soon. The Bollywood star is shooting with Raftaar, and the two will have a jugalbandi kind of sort in the teaser video. The video will drop in a couple of days,” the source added.
The digital reality show will stream on Jio Cinemas and Voot Select.
Contestants like Jiya Shanker, Munawar Faruqui, Shivam Sharma, Umar Riaz, and Awez Darbar are reportedly going to be part of the show. Rajeev Sen, in an interview with ETimes, had also revealed that he was approached for the show. However, sources confirm that his participation is yet to be confirmed. Although, if Rajeev indeed joins, there are high chances his estranged wife Charu Asopa would also come on board to spice things up in the show.
Bigg Boss OTT 2, like its previous season, will be shorter in duration as compared to its television counterpart. With a runtime of six weeks, the reality series will have close to 10 celebrities being locked inside a house. Last season, three finalists from Bigg Boss OTT Shamita Shetty, Pratik Sehajpal and Nishant Bhat were given a chance to be in the main show (Bigg Boss 15).
