Bigg Boss 19 To Premiere In August: Check Out This Year's Theme, Contestants, Runtime & More Details

The much-loved reality show, Bigg Boss, is all set to return to television with its 19th season in August. And as per reports, the new season too will be hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, and it will have a unique theme this year, along with the return of some long-lost sections of the Bigg Boss house.

According to the insider X page, Bigg Boss Tak, the shoot for the main promo and other promotional videos will begin in July, followed by the show's premiere in August. This year, the Bigg Boss 19 house is set to have a 'Rewind' theme. While the exact pros and cons of the theme have not been disclosed yet, it surely will make the game tougher for the contestants.

The 'secret room', which was once a part of the Bigg Boss house, is set to make a comeback this season. Also, in a shocking twist, the audience will nominate housemates for eviction this year and not the contestants themselves. However, the contestants will then fight to save themselves from the evictions.

While the makers have not officially announced the names of the contestants in Bigg Boss this year, several names have been floating for quite some time now.

YouTuber Purav Jha, who was recently seen in The Traitors, will reportedly participate in the show, along with Raj Kundra, Faisal Shaikh, Ram Kapoor, Tanushree Dutta, Gaurav Taneja, and others.

Reports had later also mentioned that Bigg Boss 19 will run for 6 months, but the makers have now decided to the usual 3.5 months runtime.
