Bigg Boss Telugu 5 is already creating ripples even before it has started airing. There are several factors that are contributing to the increase in this hype for the reality show. One of the big reasons is that Nagarjuna is not going to host this year’s Bigg Boss Telugu as he is busy with his acting assignments. As per rumors, Rana Daggubati who already is known as a successful host of talk shows has been roped in to take the place of Nagarjuna.
While the buzz is quite strong about Rana’s inclusion as the host of Bigg Boss Telugu 5, no official confirmation has come out as of yet. Another factor that has triggered anticipation for this year’s Bigg Boss is that the makers are trying to rope in YouTubers and social media influencers as contestants apart from television celebrities and actors.
With YouTubers and social media influencers playing a big role in today’s entertainment world, their inclusion in the show is expected to add a new dimension to the Bigg Boss game. Also, the budget for this year’s show has been doubled. According to reports Star Maa has decided to make this year’s Bigg Boss more lavish and attractive and hence its budget will be twice that of last year.
