Even though the channel and the production house will adopt the necessary safety measures, the rules to the tasks to the wild card entries, and other aspects of the show will apparently remain unchanged. It is reported that the 16 contestants, comprising 13 celebrities and three commoners, will be tested for COVID-19 before being sent inside the house. The entire set, as well as all the items inside the house, will be completely sanitised. The set will be constructed at Film City this year too, and Salman will travel from his Bandra residence for the shoot. As per a news report, the biggest concern of the makers is about 16 people staying under the same roof, eating the same food and sharing a common toilet. The makers are not sure about how social distancing can be practised in such a scenario.
