The buzz around Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is heating up, and the countdown has officially begun. The reality show, which has already completed eight successful seasons, is all set to premiere its ninth edition on September 7, 2025.
Once again, Akkineni Nagarjuna will take the hosting chair, marking his sixth consecutive season as Bigg Boss Telugu’s anchor. While fans are excited for the drama inside the house, there’s also a lot of chatter about Nagarjuna’s remuneration for the season — and the numbers are jaw-dropping.
According to reports, the King of Tollywood is set to earn a staggering ₹30 crores for hosting the three-month-long reality show. Interestingly, this is the same ballpark figure he reportedly charged for previous seasons as well.
The Telugu version of Bigg Boss began in 2017, with Jr NTR hosting the first season, followed by Nani for Season 2. From Season 3 onwards, Nagarjuna has been the face of the show, which continues to maintain strong TRP ratings.
This time, the makers are promising bigger surprises, stricter rules, and brand-new tasks. Some older concepts, like the secret room and re-entry, are expected to be dropped in favor of fresh challenges to keep the audience hooked.
With a massive paycheck, a fresh format, and high anticipation, Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about reality shows of 2025.
