Talking about the show, the host Salman Khan said, “When the format of Bigg Boss 18 was narrated to me, I was quite intrigued. After hosting the show for 14 years, it’s exciting to see how it is bringing a whole new twist to the format, and I’m looking forward to exploring this fresh chapter as a host. Bigg Boss has always been about pushing boundaries, and this time, with the game’s predictions in play, I’m curious to see how the contestants respond to their fates being challenged. It’s going to be an interesting journey for them—and for me, as I navigate this uncharted territory with them. This is a welcome change, and I think it’s going to take both the contestants and viewers on an unpredictable ride full of surprises. I’m ready to see how this all unfolds.”
Deepak Dhar, Founder & Group CEO, Banijay Asia and Endemol Shine India, said, “The legacy of entertainment created by Bigg Boss is a matter of immense pride for all of us at Endemol Shine India. With each season, Bigg Boss has not only captured the imagination of audiences but redefined the very nature of reality television.

With the ever-charismatic Dabangg host Salman Khan at the helm, the omnipresent master of the house peering into the future, and a dynamic lineup of contestants ready to face the unknown, the stage is set for an entertainment extravaganza like no other.”
This year, Bigg Boss is redefining its iconic tagline from “Bigg Boss Chahte Hain” to “Bigg Boss Jaante Hain,” signalling a more omniscient presence in the show. The campaign kicks off with a mix of ex-Bigg Boss contestants and COLORS actors like Krushna Abhishek, Bharti Singh, Shilpa Shinde, Deepika Singh and Shalin Bhanot receiving cryptic notes, sparking intrigue about ‘Bigg Boss future Jaante Hain’. This theme of “Time Ka Tandav” is explored through various digital initiatives, including behind-the-scenes content, Snapchat lenses, and Instagram filters that transport fans into the Bigg Boss house, as well as a 7-day challenge where audiences complete time-bound tasks. In a unique global spectacle, cutting-edge CGI technology will bring the concept of ‘Time Ka Tandav’ to life, with the iconic Bigg Boss eye projected on prominent clock towers around the world, symbolizing the power of Bigg Boss. Contestant introductions are reimagined through creative elements such as palm astrology using holographic displays, showcasing possible future outcomes and narrating contestants’ journeys. These multi-faceted approaches, along with the time capsule concept for contestant reveals and “blast from the past” videos featuring comedic collaborations, aim to engage fans across various platforms, creating buzz and excitement for the upcoming season.
With a new theme, JioCinema is all set to ensure uninterrupted entertainment for Bigg Boss 18 with its 24-hour LIVE channel, providing exclusive content access to fans.
