Hyderabad: The excitement surrounding the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 18 is palpable as fans eagerly await its premiere. With the charismatic Salman Khan returning as the host, the buzz has intensified, especially following the recent teaser shared on his social media.
Bigg Boss 18: Launching Into the Future
All set to launch on October 6, Bigg Boss 18 will feature the intriguing theme of 'time ka taandav.' This season promises to delve into the concepts of past, present, and future, a theme that has been intricately woven into the show’s set design. The Bigg Boss 18 house draws inspiration from ancient eras, showcasing elements reminiscent of caves and forts, adorned with large motifs and detailed sculptures. The use of warm and earthy colors marks a departure from the vibrant palettes of previous seasons.
A House Full of Secrets
This year’s house is designed to be more than just luxurious; it is filled with surprises. It features secret entrances, hidden doors, and cleverly placed cameras that may go unnoticed. Upon entering the garden area, one is greeted by towering pillars and a pathway that not only captivates but also organizes the space. The bathroom area draws inspiration from a Turkish hammam, highlighted by a striking Trojan horse entrance that offers a unique vantage point of the house.
45 Days, 200 Workers, One Stunning Set
The creation of this opulent abode was no small feat—it took 45 days and nearly 200 workers to bring the vision to life. Art director Omung Kumar shared insights about the design process, emphasizing a desire to incorporate Indian aesthetics, which had been overlooked in recent seasons. He stated, "It took 45 days to make the set, work started soon after OTT. It takes 5-6 days to expand and open the house. We started straight away."
The Budget Battle
Creating such a lavish environment does come with challenges, particularly concerning budget constraints. Omung candidly admitted, “It’s always a fight. We know what the budget is, but I always go overboard. The budget goes for a toss, my office keeps calling, but then I believe that the name matters."

Salman Khan: The Superstar Host
