Reality television has a special way of keeping us hooked, and in India, there are very few shows that match the drama, excitement, and energy of the various Bigg Boss shows. With the arrival of Bigg Boss 9 Telugu, the anticipation is at an all-time high. This season promises bigger twists, more drama, and a whole lot of entertainment. We at Vi are here to keep you updated with all the details, from the OTT release date to the list of rumoured contestants, so you’re fully prepared before the drama unfolds. So, let’s get started!
When and Where to Watch Bigg Boss 9 Telugu
The wait is almost over! Bigg Boss 9 Telugu is set to start streaming from 7th September 2025 on JioHotstar. You can also catch the drama on the Vi Movies and TV App. Much to the delight of fans, this season will once again be hosted by none other than Akkineni Nagarjuna, whose vibe and presence have become synonymous with the Telugu version of the show. The show will run for three months straight, with a specially designed massive set being constructed at Annapurna Studio in Hyderabad to host all the action.
If you’ve followed previous seasons, you already know the kind of excitement and unpredictability Bigg Boss Telugu brings. If you’re new to the show, there’s no better time to start, as this season is shaping up to be truly different from anything we’ve seen before.
The Bigg Boss 9 Twist: Entry of Commoners
One of the most exciting updates about Bigg Boss 9 Telugu is the inclusion of commoners for the very first time in the show’s history. To make this possible, the makers have introduced a pre-show titled Bigg Boss 9 Telugu: Agnipariksha.
The shooting for Agnipariksha has already begun in Hyderabad. About 40 commoners have been shortlisted, and they will compete against each other in a series of special tasks designed to test their grit, patience, and personality. Only three winners will make it through Agnipariksha, securing their spot in the main season alongside celebrity contestants. This twist not only gives fresh faces a chance to shine but also adds an unpredictable layer to the show, making the upcoming season even more thrilling.
Rumoured Contestants of Bigg Boss 9 Telugu
Like every year, speculation is running wild about who will walk through the Bigg Boss doors. While the official line-up will only be revealed during the grand premiere, several names have been making the rounds as potential participants. The rumoured contestants include:
- Parameshwar Hivrale
- Naga Durga Gutha
- Rithu Chowdary
- Jabardasth Varsha
- Jabardasth Emmanuel
- Ramya Moksha
- Sriteja Kandarpa
- Tejaswini Gowda
- Kalpika Ganesh
- Navya Swamy
- Sumanth Ashwin
- Jyothi Rai

It’s worth remembering that these names are rumoured, and the final list will only be confirmed during the premiere episode. That’s part of the charm of Bigg Boss; you never quite know who will be part of the house until the last moment.
