Recently, there were reports that Nagarjuna Akkineni, who has been hosting the Telugu reality show Bigg Boss for the past six seasons, would be replaced by Nandamuri Balakrishna. But these reports have turned out to be false—Nagarjuna will continue as the host.
Nagarjuna Akkineni will return for Season 9 of Bigg Boss Telugu and will reprise his role as the host. There is no change in his contract, and Balakrishna is not stepping in.
Bigg Boss Telugu began with NTR hosting the first season, followed by Nani for the second. From the third season onwards, Nagarjuna took over and has been successfully anchoring the show. In contrast, for the Tamil version, Vijay Sethupathi recently replaced Kamal Haasan, which sparked speculation about a host change in the Telugu version as well.
Initially, it was rumored that Vijay Deverakonda would host the upcoming season to appeal to a younger audience. Later, reports claimed that Nandamuri Balakrishna would take over, riding high on the popularity of his talk show “Unstoppable with NBK.”
However, all these remained mere speculation. Nagarjuna is officially returning to host the show once again.
