Bigg Boss Kannada: Showrunner Suggests Kiccha Sudeep May Host Season 12 Again
2 days ago | 5 Views
On January 26, emotions were running high for fans of Bigg Boss Kannada. The grand finale was on and a new winner was set to be announced, with supporters of each finalist hoping for their favourite to get to the title. What was also running through audiences’ minds was that this would be the last time they get to see Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep live in action as the host of the show.
Sudeep had announced his decision to quit as host, sometime ago, which he has reiterated time and again. Films will be priority for the actor, who found shuttling between a film set and the show extremely taxing. In fact, Sudeep wants to focus on doing at least 2 films in the next 18 months, including Billa Ranga Baasha, which is a 2-part project.
Sudeep will be back, says BBK showrunner
While Sudeep’s fans wanted this decision at least a year or 2 earlier, from the time the quality of the show was perceived to be on the decline, it is only now that he’s called it quits. The showrunners at Colors Kannada and Endemol, though, had not accepted this ‘resignation’, with the former confident of convincing Sudeep to return for more seasons.
It is to be noted that rumours of Sudeep and the showrunners having differences of opinion began doing the rounds after Parameshwar Gundkal, the former programming head of Colors Kannada, moved on to join Jio Studios and direct a feature film (Koti with Daali Dhananjaya). The direction that Bigg Boss Kannada took after Parameshwar’s departure was, allegedly, not to the liking of the show host, who, however, continued to soldier on.
During Season 10, though, Sudeep was also busy with the shoot of his film Max, which was mostly shot at night, and would then charter private flights to get him to Bengaluru from Mahabalipuram and back within the span of 48 hours, which was physically and emotionally draining for him. While he was expected to not return for Season 11, he did, but midway through it, announced that it would be his last time as host.
Following the end of Season 11, current showrunner Prakash spoke to the media, saying that it was unimaginable to have Bigg Boss Kannada without Sudeep and that discussions are on with the Kannada superstar to continue as host. He sounded confident about being able to convince Sudeep, even as rumours began doing the rounds that Parameshwar was being brought back to the Colors Kannada fold.
Will Sudeep return as host of Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 or will the channel be forced to look for another option? Let’s wait and watch.
