The glitz and glamour surrounding “Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12” might be dimming. This popular reality show, hosted by superstar Kiccha Sudeep, is facing a real crisis. There’s a big threat hanging over it: the show could get shut down mid-season. Fans are reeling from the news.
Trouble started brewing when the State Pollution Control Board issued a direct order. They told the studio producing the show to close its doors right away. This studio, located in the Bidadi area of Bengaluru South district, has been the home for “Bigg Boss Kannada” for many years. It’s where all the action happens, season after season.
The Root of the Problem
The company behind the studio, Wells Studios & Entertainment Private Limited, is accused of breaking environmental laws. According to the notice from the KSPCB, the company started large-scale entertainment and studio operations without getting the necessary permissions. Simply put, they skipped important steps. The board made it clear that the studio didn’t have the required approvals under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974, nor the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981. These laws are in place to protect our shared environment.

What the Board’s Notice Said
The official letter from the board didn’t mince words. It stated, “Large-scale entertainment activities and studio operations are being carried out at your premises without obtaining the necessary consent for establishment and operation.” The notice demanded that all activities stop immediately. It also told the company to provide an explanation within a set timeframe. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Consequences and Warnings
The order, which went out on October 6, 2025, wasn’t just sent to the studio. Copies also landed on the desks of the Deputy Commissioner of Ramanagara district, the Managing Director of BESCOM, and an Electrical Engineer. This signals a broad push for compliance. They were all asked to help make sure the order is followed. The board issued a stern warning: if the order isn’t obeyed, the company will face legal action and penalties.
A Long-Standing Home
The “Bigg Boss Kannada” studio has been a fixture in Bidadi for many seasons. It’s a custom-built set that has seen countless dramatic moments. Hosted by the charismatic Kiccha Sudeep, the show is a massive hit. It’s known for its impressive production values and how much viewers get involved. For many, it’s a staple of their TV diet.
An Uncertain Future for the Show
This sudden closure order could throw a wrench into the show’s current production and future broadcasts. Now, everyone is watching to see how the producers will handle this legal mess. Will they find a new location quickly? Or will they scramble to get all the environmental clearances they missed? This situation shines a spotlight not just on the entertainment world, but on how important it is for everyone, even TV giants, to play by the environmental rules.
