The very first season of Bigg Boss Telugu was hosted by actor Jr. NTR. Unfortunately, he was unable to return as the host for season two and was replaced by Nani. Finally, the third season for Bigg Boss Telugu was hosted by the massively popular superstar Nagarjuna. However, according to reports, Nagarjuna will not be returning for the next season of Bigg Boss Telugu.

As of now, the showrunners are still hunting for the next host of Bigg Boss Telugu. Previous reports claimed that the makers were trying to convince Jr. NTR to return as the host of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 4. However, according to the latest rumours, Jr. NTR rejected the offer and will not be returning to the show.
