In this round, 45 participants entered. Six commoners will be chosen to join the main house. The contestants include regular people as well as popular social media faces. They are being tested with different tasks that test their mental strength, physical ability, and confidence. Sreemukhi is hosting the pre-show, while Navdeep, Abijeet, and Bindu Madhavi are on the judging panel.
What To Expect From Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9?
The main season of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 will launch on September 7, 2025, on Star Maa and stream on JioHotstar. Nagarjuna will return once again as the host. After a dull season last year, the makers have brought a fresh idea this time. According to 123Telugu, the Bigg Boss’ house will be split into two sections. One part will have celebrity contestants, and the other will be for commoners. In the commoners’ section, some will be new faces, and the rest will be those who come through Agnipariksha.

However, it is important to note that makers have yet to make an official announcement on these names.
Final Words
Season 9 looks more exciting than the earlier ones because of its format. Having two houses will create more fights, more strategies, and bigger surprises. The clash between celebrities and commoners will be the key highlight.
Beyond tasks and trials lies the ultimate revelation. 🔥
