King Nagarjuna Akkineni was the host last time and as always did a splendid job of carrying the show on his experienced shoulders. The other hosts were Jr NTR and Nani for the previous seasons. However, Nagarjuna returned to host Season 4 for Bigg Boss Telugu as well. BigBoss 4 gave viewers 105 days of full entertainment for those who were confined to their homes during the Corona lockdown. Although there were mostly new faces in the season, Nagarjuna enlivened the show with his sophisticated talk, and the 4th season was also declared super hit.

Riding on this success, the Bigg Boss organizers are coming forward with the fifth season soon with the same enthusiasm. As part of this, the structure of the new set and the selection of contestants are in the final stages of preparation.

Meanwhile, a piece of shocking news has come out regarding this show. According to the latest information, King Nagarjuna will not be hosting the fifth season of Bigg Boss. He is reportedly being replaced by Tollywood young hero and his own nephew Rana Daggubati as the host! It is reported that King Nagarjuna, has decided to stay away from the fifth season and he is also busy with a series of films that are slated to keep him busy.
