Mumbai: The much-anticipated 18th season of ‘Bigg Boss’ is all set to premiere on October 6 at 9 PM. Enthusiasts of the popular reality show have yet another reason to celebrate, as Salman Khan is making a return as the host. This return is particularly noteworthy because Salman had taken a brief hiatus during the third season of the digital spin-off, ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3,’ which saw his ‘No Entry’ co-star, Anil Kapoor, stepping into the hosting spotlight.
Anticipation for this new season has been steadily building, thanks in large part to a tantalizing promotional campaign that began to unfold last week. The first promo exclusively featured Salman Khan’s voice, skillfully setting the stage for the season’s intriguing theme: ‘Time Ka Tandav’ (The Havoc of Time).
A follow-up promotional clip aired on Sunday night, offering eager fans a glimpse of Salman Khan dressed sharply in a dark blue shirt and black suit, striking a commanding pose atop a massive ticking clock. The visuals are nothing short of mesmerizing, vividly portraying the essence of the season’s theme.
In a dramatic unfolding within the video, Salman elaborates on the unique angle of ‘Time Ka Tandav,’ highlighting that for this season, the “Bigg Boss eye,” which has traditionally been centered on the present, will now delve into both the past and the future. This concept is visually represented with compelling imagery of Salman embarking on a journey through time. Iconic hourglasses, mystic masks, and ever-watchful cameras surround him, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a time machine.
The promo concludes with Salman delivering a powerful statement reiterating the ‘Time Ka Tandav’ theme. The visual storytelling is further enhanced by the accompanying Instagram post from Colors TV. The post captions the promo with the words: “Iss baar ghar mein bhuchaal aayega, kyunki Bigg Boss mein Time Ka Taandav chaayega!” translating to “An earthquake will strike the house this time, because the havoc of time will dominate Bigg Boss.” This catchy mantra has already resonated with fans across social media platforms, igniting a flurry of speculation and anticipation.
Salman Khan’s long-standing association with ‘Bigg Boss’ commenced in 2010 with its fourth season, and he has since become synonymous with the show, lending his charisma and presence to several subsequent seasons.
. His unique ability to connect with contestants and audiences alike has made him an indispensable part of the ‘Bigg Boss’ franchise.
The third season of ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ marked an experimental shift with Anil Kapoor donning the host’s hat. However, Salman’s return promises to restore the original chemistry and dynamic that fans have come to love. Before this, the second season of ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ was also helmed by Salman Khan, broadcasted on JioCinema, highlighting his versatility across different formats of the show.
