After much speculation surrounding the fate of the Bigg Boss franchise, Bigg Boss 19 is officially back on track, and Salman Khan will return as host. The popular reality show, known for its high-voltage drama and celebrity clashes, is set to premiere on August 3, as per recent reports from Gossips TV.
Franchise Revival Amid Uncertainty
Earlier rumours hinted at the possible cancellation of both Bigg Boss 19 and Bigg Boss OTT 4 due to alleged disagreements between the production team and the channel. These developments also cast doubt over Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. However, sources now confirm that Bigg Boss 19 is moving forward with full force. The team has already begun approaching celebrities to enter the house, sparking buzz among fans.
Although initial speculation pointed to a June launch, the lack of promotional material made it seem unlikely. Later, October was floated as the probable release window. But now, August 3 has emerged as the tentative premiere date, bringing excitement to fans who were waiting for official confirmation.
