Vijay Sethupathi, Nagarjuna, Kichcha Sudeepa, and Mohanlal have come together in a new promotional video for the upcoming regional editions of Bigg Boss, unveiled on Monday, 31 August 2026. The four actors host Bigg Boss Tamil, Bigg Boss Telugu, Bigg Boss Kannada, and Bigg Boss Malayalam respectively, with all four editions set to premiere simultaneously on 6 September 2026.
What the Promo Shows
The promotional video places the four hosts in a lighthearted situation centred on a food mix-up involving dishes from one another's states. The sequence uses regional culinary identity as a vehicle for humour, drawing on the distinct cultural flavours of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, Karnataka, and Kerala. The result is a cross-cultural comedic exchange that plays to each host's personality.
Seeing all four stars share a single frame is being positioned as a marquee moment for fans across South India — a rare convergence of some of the region's biggest names in one promotional campaign.
What the Network Said
Krishnan Kutty, Head of Entertainment (South) at JioStar, said, 'Each of our four hosts has a very distinct equation with his audience, and that relationship is an important part of what makes Bigg Boss so powerful in every market.' He added, 'This promo gave us an opportunity to bring Vijay Sethupathi, Nagarjuna, Kichcha Sudeepa and Mohanlal together in a way that is fun, rooted in the cultures of the South and true to their personalities. For fans, seeing all four of them share the screen is a moment in itself. It captures the scale and excitement we are building towards as all four editions begin together.'
Where to Watch
All four editions of Bigg Boss will air on JioStar television channels and stream on JioHotstar from 6 September 2026. The simultaneous launch across four languages marks a significant programming push for the platform heading into the festive season.
About the Format
Bigg Boss is a format owned by Endemol Shine and Banijay Entertainment. Across its South Indian editions, the show's host segments — weekend interactions, humour, and observations — are widely regarded as among the most-watched elements of each season, frequently driving social media conversations beyond the confines of the house itself.
Point of View
Universally relatable, and sidesteps any hint of regional rivalry. Whether the strategy translates into sustained viewership across all four editions, or whether one language dominates and cannibalises the others, will be the real story come mid-September.
