Salman Khan is all set to return as the host of Bigg Boss 13, and there has been a lot of speculation around when reality show will kick off and who the contestants will be this year.
While there has been no official announcement yet, latest reports suggest that the 13th edition of the Colors TV show is slated to premiere on 29 September, a day after the finale of Madhuri Dixit-led show Dance Deewane 2 airs on 28 September.
A report on Pinkvilla.com quoted a source as saying, “They have officially discussed the date in the team, and usually September-October is when they look to begin. BB13 will start telecasting from September 29 this time and given that the show is usually a 15-week affair, the Grand Finale is expected to be around January 12, 2020.”
Unlike the last few seasons, the 13th edition will have only celebrity contestants. The move comes after the ‘vichitra jodi’ concept, with more than half of the contestants being commoners, didn’t work for the channel last season.
Also, this year the set has moved from Lonavla to Goregaon Film City. Bigg Boss 13 will be Salman’s 10th season as host.
