Actor Amitabh Bachchan will host Bigg Boss 3, the third season of the popular TV reality show which will telecasted in Colours which is a part of Viacom 18. Amitabh Bachchan first arrived on the small screen with Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) in 2000. The impact of the show is now part of television legend. It revived Bachchan's sagging career and established the struggling Star Plus as the No. 1 entertainment channel.
The Indian version of the popular British reality show Big Brother, Big Boss is set to get bigger and Amitabh Bachchan is going to take over as host from Shilpa Shetty, who hosted it last season.Bachchan will invite viewers to send in their choices for housemates and Colors will attempt to get some of the people chosen by viewers. Amitabh Bachchan will also interview the housemates as they get evicted. He will play the role of a philosopher, giving housemates his wisdom and advice.This will be his second stint on the small screen.
Bigg Boss rated reasonably well when it was telecast on Colors last year soon after the channel's launch in July. But it was more successful at being constantly in the eye of a storm. The show is expected to go on air around December.
Bigg Boss will have celebrity contestants locked into a house under the surveillance of multiple cameras for a period of three months without any contact with the outside world. Periodic eliminations will take place based on voting by housemates and the audiences.
