AI Theme: What’s New This Season?

Although there was buzz earlier about a nostalgia-themed format, recent developments confirm that the makers are heading toward technology-focused concept, with Artificial Intelligence playing a major role in shaping the format and experience this time. Reflecting this shift, even the iconic voice of Bigg Boss is said to be getting a subtle makeover. Instead of the usual command-style “Bigg Boss chahte hai,” viewers will now hear a more curious tone: “Bigg Boss janna chahte hai,” hinting at a more interactive approach.

Another major change is the format, Bigg Boss 19 will first premiere on OTT (JioCinema), and then episodes will air on TV with a delay of about 90 minutes. The show is also expected to run for nearly five months, making it one of the longest seasons to date.

The official logo of Bigg Boss 19 has also been released, marking the first formal announcement for the new season. According to reports, Salman Khan has already filmed the promo forBigg Boss 19 on July 21, and the show is expected to launch sometime next month. Preparations for the upcoming season are in full gear, with close to 50 celebrities being approached for participation in what promises to be another dramatic edition of the popular reality show.

Though the contestant list and premiere date are still under wraps, among the rumoured contestants are names like. Shraddha Arya, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Mr Faisu, Khushi Dubey, and even virtual AI influencer Kavya Mehra.

Despite all this buzz, Mallika has firmly opted out. Her strong stance reminds fans that while the show may be bigger and bolder than ever, not every celebrity is keen to join the Bigg Boss madness.
