The upcoming Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 is already generating considerable online buzz, particularly after a reportedly subdued Season 8. As anticipation builds for the new installment of the popular reality show, an update has emerged regarding its long-standing host.
Despite recent rumors suggesting that Nandamuri Balakrishna was being considered to take over hosting duties, new reports indicate that Nagarjuna Akkineni will indeed continue his role as the face of Bigg Boss Telugu. According to sources cited by OTTPlay, the show's producers have successfully renewed their contract with King Nagarjuna, with reports hinting at a substantial remuneration package for his return. This would mark Nagarjuna's seventh consecutive season at the helm of the popular series.
Prior to the Balakrishna speculation, there were also unconfirmed discussions circulating about Vijay Deverakonda potentially stepping into the hosting shoes for Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9. However, these reports never received official confirmation from the show's creators.
Bigg Boss Telugu first premiered in 2017. The inaugural season was hosted by Jr NTR, followed by Nani for Season 2. Since Season 3, Nagarjuna Akkineni has been the consistent host. Notably, Seasons 2 and 6 featured a blend of both celebrities and common individuals as contestants, adding a unique dynamic to the house.
Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 is tentatively slated to kick off in September 2025, promising another season of drama, entertainment, and unexpected twists for its dedicated viewership.
