Popular TV shows Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi are facing uncertainty this year due to a rift between producer Banijay Asia and Colors Channel.
Both shows on shaky ground
Reports indicate that Banijay Asia, the production house behind these reality shows, has pulled out from Colors Channel. This move has left fans worried as both shows were expected to air this year.
The tension between the channel and the production house had been building up for some time, with creative differences and budget issues being major points of contention. While there’s no official word from either side, insiders say the situation became untenable, leading to the split.
What’s next for Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi?
The production house is exploring other options, having approached another channel. However, no deal has been finalized yet. If the shows do move to a new channel, it’ll require significant changes, including recasting, rebuilding sets, and rewriting scripts. This means fans might have to wait longer to see their favorite shows back on air.
Fan reaction
Fans are disappointed by the news, particularly those eagerly awaiting Bigg Boss’s new season. The show’s popularity soared with Salman Khan at the helm, and his absence would be deeply felt. The future of Khatron Ke Khiladi, another fan favorite hosted by Rohit Shetty, is also uncertain.
Some reports suggest Colors Channel is scouting for a new production house to partner with. While this could keep the shows alive, revamping them will be a time-consuming process. As things stand, fans can only wait and watch how this situation unfolds.
