Though the final list is still under wraps, the rumour mill is churning at full speed. A flurry of names from across the entertainment spectrum are being speculated—actors, influencers, fitness coaches, and even an AI influencer. Here’s a look at some of the big names reportedly in talks:

• Ram Kapoor & Gautami Kapoor: The real-life couple might be walking into the Bigg Boss house together, raising the stakes for relationship dynamics.

What’s Changing This Year?

According to SCREEN, the “Rewind” theme is expected to bring back nostalgic elements like the “Secret Room,” where nominated contestants might secretly watch the game unfold. But in a bold shift, audience voting could determine nominations, while eviction decisions may lie with contestants themselves—adding an unpredictable twist to the game mechanics.

Also, this season will be split into two phases: a televised run of about four months, followed by an OTT-exclusive continuation. The show will air on Viacom18 channels and stream on JioCinema, produced by Banijay Asia.

And yes—rations are back in play. Failed tasks may lead to a week of empty plates, echoing the show's old-school survival drama appeal.

As fans gear up for the storm of emotions, controversies, alliances, and drama that Bigg Boss is known for, all eyes are on official announcement for the final premiere date and cast.
