Vijay Devarakonda to replace Nagarjuna in Bigg Boss 9?

For years, Akkineni Nagarjuna has epitomized Bigg Boss Telugu, showcasing his charisma, charm, and adept hosting abilities on the renowned reality program. After five consecutive seasons of presenting the show, speculations indicate that the veteran star is contemplating resigning from his position owing to exhaustion and waning interest.

Should these speculations prove accurate, the forthcoming Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 may include a new host, with Vijay Deverakonda emerging as the leading candidate for the esteemed position.

Nagarjuna’s long tenure

Nagarjuna assumed the role of host for Bigg Boss Telugu starting with the third season, succeeding Jr. NTR, who anchored the inaugural season, and Nani, who hosted the second season.

Nagarjuna has influenced the show’s personality over the years. In addition to hosting the broadcast edition, he also led the OTT version, Bigg Boss Telugu Non-Stop.

Nonetheless, the previous Bigg Boss Telugu 8 has not produced the anticipated enthusiasm and interest, alongside tales of Nagarjuna’s fatigue from managing consecutive seasons, leading the seasoned actor to express a desire to go from the program.

New Host

In light of Nagarjuna’s probable departure, the producers of Bigg Boss Telugu are currently seeking an appropriate substitute. Industry insiders suggest that they are seriously contemplating Vijay Deverakonda, the renowned heartthrob recognized for his defiant demeanor and profound rapport with the youth. Vijay Deverakonda possesses a substantial fanbase, particularly among younger demographics. His unique Telangana dialect, eccentric flair, and candid persona have rendered him one of the most relatable actors in Tollywood today. Should he assume the role of host, it may infuse the program with renewed vigor, appealing to younger audiences who connect with his distinctive charisma.
