Bigg Boss 19 theme to be heavily influenced by AI: Reports

As the launch of Bigg Boss 19 inches closer, speculation and leaks are stirring excitement among fans. The latest buzz hints at a major revamp of the show’s format, with a bold new theme and significant changes to how the house will function.

Reportedly, Salman Khan has already shot the promo on July 21, and the season is slated to hit screens sometime next month. Casting efforts are in full swing, with nearly four dozen celebrities having been approached so far to join the high-voltage reality series. Meanwhile, the house that hosts all the drama is currently under construction. Trusted hands are back on deck—filmmaker and designer Omung Kumar and his wife Vanita Garud are once again curating the signature look of the Bigg Boss home. If all goes to plan, the lavish set will be ready for cameras by August 20.

Sources suggest that filming for the grand premiere episodes will happen over two days: August 27 and 29—with contestant introductions and performances scheduled for the latter date.

One of the most striking updates? The theme of the season. While earlier reports hinted at a nostalgic twist, the current direction seems to be tech-driven, with artificial intelligence playing a central role in the show's narrative. In line with this shift, even Bigg Boss’s iconic line will evolve. Instead of “Bigg Boss chahte hai,” viewers will now hear “Bigg Boss janna chahte hai,” reflecting a new tone of inquiry rather than command.

Perhaps the boldest move this season is the decision to hand over more authority to the contestants themselves. Insiders reveal that housemates will make crucial decisions—from ration distribution to daily tasks—effectively running the house on their own terms. If true, this would mark a fundamental change in how control is distributed inside the Bigg Boss walls.
