Bigg Boss OTT Season 4: Elvish Yadav to replace Salman Khan? Commoners to enter? Everything we know so far

Bigg Boss OTT Season 4 Update: The conclusion of Bigg Boss Season 18 on January 19 saw actor Karanvir Mehra crowned as the winner. The Salman Khan-hosted television season has now wrapped up and the viewers' attention has now shifted to the upcoming season of Bigg Boss OTT. As the anticipation builds, several speculations have surfaced regarding the show¡¯s premiere date, possible changes in the hosting lineup, and the participation of commoners.

Who will host Bigg Boss OTT 4?

Rumours are circulating that Salman Khan, who has been the face of Bigg Boss for several seasons, may not return as the host for Bigg Boss OTT Season 4. A News24 report suggests that YouTuber Elvish Yadav who was the winner of Bigg Boss OTT Season 2, could take on the hosting role. In addition, some have suggested that Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor could also be in the running.

However, given that the previous season of Bigg Boss OTT faced commercial challenges, the producers may consider a fresh approach, including a new host. Please note that any details are yet to be officially announced.

Bigg Boss OTT 4¡¯s premiere date

Historically, Bigg Boss OTT has premiered roughly six months after the conclusion of its television counterpart. For example, Bigg Boss OTT Seasons 2 and 3 began in June. A Times of India report suggests that based on this pattern itself, the premiere of Season 4 could be expected around July 2025. However, some sources hint at the possibility of an earlier start.

Bigg Boss OTT offers a unique viewing experience compared to its television counterpart, providing an unfiltered, less-censored format with extended episodes and behind-the-scenes content. The show¡¯s OTT platform also enables interactive features like live voting, giving viewers more influence over the outcome.

Will commoners¡¯ format return in Bigg Boss OTT 4?

While Bigg Boss OTT has traditionally featured celebrity contestants with just 3 three seasons (10, 11 and 12) starring commoners, it remains unclear whether the non-celeb faces would return this season. A viral tweet alleges that casting has begun on the discussion table and the makers have decided to onboard six commoners in Bigg Boss OTT Season 4. Fans are speculating that commoners might bring more spice, however, any of this speculation is yet to get official.
