The wait is finally over as Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 has started. Viewers can watch the show on Star Maa and also stream it on JioHotstar. The opening episode was held on September 7, 2025, and Nagarjuna returned as the host for the sixth time. His grand entry set the tone for an entertaining season.
This year, the makers introduced a fresh format with two separate houses. One is called the owners’ house, where common people who passed the Agnipariksha round will stay. The other is the tenants’ house, which is filled with celebrity contestants. The new setup promises more fun and rivalry between the two groups.
Before the launch, around 40 participants were shortlisted from online applications. Of these, 15 were taken into the Agnipariksha challenge, hosted by Sreemukhi. They were tested and judged by Abijeet, the winner of season 4, Bindu Madhavi, the winner of Bigg Boss Telugu OTT, and actor Navdeep, who was a contestant in Season 1. After several rounds, the final set of contestants was locked for the main show.
