Four Bigg Boss Hosts Together in JioStar Promo
The promo features Mohanlal, Vijay Sethupathi, Nagarjuna and Kichcha Sudeepa, bringing together four major stars associated with the South Indian editions of Bigg Boss.
Each host has developed a distinct connection with viewers through their respective editions. Bringing all four together creates a crossover between the Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada Bigg Boss audiences ahead of the September 6 launch.
JioStar describes the campaign with the idea: Four Superstars, Four Bigg Boss Houses and One Ultimate Countdown.
A Fun Cultural Mix-Up Between the Four Hosts
Rather than presenting the four stars only as Bigg Boss hosts, the new promo uses a playful concept built around the different cultures of South India.
The hosts find themselves in a humorous mix-up involving food associated with one another’s states, creating a light-hearted interaction between the four stars.
The concept combines the individual personalities of the hosts with cultural references from the four markets while building anticipation for the upcoming Bigg Boss seasons.
Mohanlal Returns With Bigg Boss Malayalam
For Malayalam audiences, Mohanlal returns as the face of Bigg Boss Malayalam when the new season begins on 6 September.
The main season follows Bigg Boss Malayalam Agnipareeksha, the commoner selection programme that has been building up to the launch of the new Bigg Boss season.
The September 6 premiere will mark the beginning of the main competition, with the selected contestants entering the Bigg Boss house.
Vijay Sethupathi, Nagarjuna and Kichcha Sudeepa
Vijay Sethupathi represents Bigg Boss Tamil in the crossover promo, while Nagarjuna appears as the host of Bigg Boss Telugu and Kichcha Sudeepa represents Bigg Boss Kannada.
Together with Mohanlal, the four stars bring four different hosting styles and audience bases into a single promotional campaign.
Their weekend interactions, observations and interventions have become an important part of the viewing experience in their respective editions.
JioStar on Bringing the Four Hosts Together
Krishnan Kutty, Head, Entertainment (South), JioStar, said that each of the four hosts has a distinct relationship with his audience and that this connection is an important part of the strength of Bigg Boss in each market.
According to JioStar, the idea behind the campaign was to bring Vijay Sethupathi, Nagarjuna, Kichcha Sudeepa and Mohanlal together in a fun setting rooted in the cultures of South India, while capturing the scale and excitement surrounding the simultaneous launch.
Four Bigg Boss Editions Premiere on September 6
September 6, 2026 will see Bigg Boss Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada premiere simultaneously, creating a unified South Indian launch moment for the franchise.
Although all four editions begin on the same date, each will continue independently in its respective language, with different contestants, houses and narratives.
The programmes will air through their respective JioStar television channels, with streaming available on JioHotstar.
For Malayalam audiences, the spotlight will be on Mohanlal and the new Bigg Boss Malayalam season, as the main show begins following the Agnipareeksha selection phase.
