Bigg Boss OTT is back with a new season in June, but the host seems to have been changed. Jio Cinema released a new promo to officially announce the season and the change in the host. This year the show is going to be hosted by Anil Kapoor who seems to have replaced Salman Khan.
In the promo video, a man in red shoes is walking around, while clips from previous seasons are played. Suddenly, the man whistles and calls for a chair, saying “Kursi manga re…”. Somewhere in the background, a voice says, “Sir, Jhakas”, which prompts him to reply, “Bahaut hogaya re jhakaas, karte hain na kuch aur khaas.” The voice of the man and the famous Jhakaas phrase clearly indicates at the new host being Anil Kapoor. Jio Cinema posted this video on instagram with the caption, "A new host for the new season of Bigg Boss OTT. Aur Bigg Boss ki tarha, inki awaaz hi kaafi hai. P.S. - No prizes for guessing #BiggBossOTT3 coming this June on JioCinema Premium."
