Bigg Boss 19 tentative contestants 2025 revealed on social media, ahead of the new season. Mamta Kulkarni, Apoorva Mukhija, to Ram Kapoor are some biggies expected to join this season

Salman Khan is gearing up for a grand comeback with the new season of Bigg Boss, Indian television’s most talked-about reality show. While this year’s edition has been surprisingly low on pre-launch buzz and speculation about contestants, fresh details are now in — including the premiere date, show format, and runtime — just as the countdown to the chaos begins.

 

The promotional shoot of Bigg Boss 19, being produced by Endemol Shine India, is anticipated to conclude by the end of June, and the show is scheduled to premiere in July 2025. We are currently awaiting official confirmation. In the meantime, we bring you names of many tentative contestants who have made it onto the list rumoured to appear on the show.

 

Bigg Boss 19: When to expect Salman Khan's hosted show?

According to a source who spoke to SCREEN, the show will air in August; however, a specific date has not yet been set. August 2 was expected to be the launch date of Bigg Boss 19, but that has been cancelled. 

 

This year, the makers are switching things up — Bigg Boss 19 will kick off directly with the main television season, and after a run of three and a half to four months, the show will transition into its OTT version. Produced by Banijay Asia, the entire season will air exclusively across Viacom18’s network of channels and platforms.

Will the Bigg Boss season 19 theme be repeated?

Salman Khan returns as host for the upcoming season, which is tentatively themed Rewind. According to sources, viewers can expect major changes to the format and features of the show this year. One nostalgic twist making a comeback is the Secret Room — a fan-favourite element from earlier seasons — where the bottom two nominated contestants will be kept in isolation, observing the game unfold from the shadows.

Additionally, the participants will not be able to nominate; instead, the audience will vote. Nevertheless, they may have a significant influence on the eviction of other players. Tasks would simultaneously determine whether or not the contestants would receive their weekly ration; if a task is cancelled, the contestants may have to go without food for the week.
