Host & Launch
- The season is hosted by Kiccha Sudeep, who had earlier indicated he might stop after Season 11 but returned for Season 12 , and has reportedly signed on for up to four more seasons.
- Premiere date: 28 September 2025.
- Where to watch: Primarily on the channel Colors Kannada and streaming platform JioCinema (and likely other regional/OTT partners).
- The set/design: For this season, the Bigg Boss house embraces rich cultural motifs of Karnataka, palace styling, Yakshagana designs, Hampi stone-carvings, elephants → giving the set a “heritage grandeur” feel.
Format & Theme
- The season introduces a new twist/theme: “Onti (solo) vs Janti (duo)”. Contestants may enter as solo players (Onti) or paired players (Janti).
- How it works: Apparently, viewers or live polls decide whether a contestant qualifies as Solo vs Duo based on vote percentages. e.g., if a contestant gets > 75% of votes, they become solo; otherwise a duo.
Example: One contestant, “Cockroach Sudhi” (actor/comedian) got 81% and entered as solo.
Key Moments & Progress
- In a mid-season “mini-finale”, Cockroach Sudhi reportedly won a special “super-power”.
- Also, an eviction happened: Two contestants (Manju Bhashini & Ashwini S.) got eliminated and one (Gilli) got a penalty after an argument.
Controversies & Unexpected Halt
- A major incident: After about nine days of airing, the season came to an abrupt halt. The reason: the local authority, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) sealed the studio & set (in Bidadi, Ramanagara district) citing violations of environmental & land-use laws (Water Act & Air Act) because the premises operated without valid permissions.
- Housemates were apparently asked to vacate the premises
- This is unusual: It’s reportedly the first time in the franchise’s 12-year history that such a halt has happened.
- For fans: Reddit discussions share mixed reactions. Some say the halt is a relief; others view it as another publicity stunt. “Contestants were moved to a resort and then brought back to the house.”
Why This Season Matters
- The “Onti vs Jenti” twist offers a fresh variation from previous seasons which predominantly had individual contestants. The duo format forces alliances, teamwork but also what happens when one in a duo is weaker/stronger.
- Kiccha Sudeep’s return as host after the earlier announced farewell adds interest , his role, his demands (he had asked for a delay this year due to his film schedule).
- The abrupt stoppage raises questions about production compliance, regulation, and how big-budget reality TV shows operate behind the scenes.
Summary
- Premiere: 28 Sept 2025
- Host: Kiccha Sudeep
- Theme: Onti (solo) vs Jenti (duo)
- Original contestants: 19
