After much delay, the eighth season of Kiccha Sudeep-hosted Bigg Boss Kannada is being launched on Sunday, 28 February. The reality show, which will be aired on Colors Kannada, will have the participation of 17 contestants, primarily from TV and cinema industry.
No Common Man
Going by the reports, Colors Kannada has not selected commoners this season. Although there have been many lists about the contestants doing rounds on internet, Parameshwar Gundkal, Business Head of Colors Kannada, has brushed it off as fake lists as the contestants were finalised recently.
"There are plenty of lists out there on internet. Even before we planned this season the names had started doing rounds. I have come across many names. I think out of so many lists people can see only one or two names on our show," Parameshwar Gundkal said in a press meet.
Parameshwar Gundkal added that all the contestants are quarantined as the Covid-19 is still around us. "He adds, "They were finalised just days ago and quarantined in different places."
The show is coming up with a new theme and the house too has gone through many changes.
Kiccha Sudeep-hosted show was supposed to begin in October 2020, but it got delayed due to the pandemic.
