Bigg Boss OTT 3 will stream on JioCinema from June 21. Bigg Boss OTT – a spin-off of the popular Bigg Boss franchise – first debuted on Voot, with filmmaker Karan Johar as the host. However, the reins were later handed over to actor and longtime Bigg Boss host, Salman Khan, for the second season.
Excited to host the third season of Bigg Boss OTT, Anil Kapoor in a statement 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! Unscripted reality has something for everyone – laughter, drama, and surprising twists, and I can’t wait to bring my own flavour to it.”
