Bigg Boss 9 Telugu What's New This Season

Get ready for the most unpredictable season of Bigg Boss Telugu yet! The ninth season of the popular reality show is set to premiere on September 7, 2025, exclusively on Star Maa. Hosted by Akkineni Nagarjuna for the seventh consecutive time, Bigg Boss 9 promises a fresh and exciting experience for viewers. This season introduces a groundbreaking twist - a double house format that doubles the drama and intrigue.

The latest promo featuring Nagarjuna and Vennela Kishore has generated immense buzz, hinting at a "double dose" of entertainment.
