Bigg Boss Telugu 9 Launches Owners vs Tenants Twist as Early Promos Show Power Struggles

Commoners chosen through the Agnipariksha pre-show now control the main house while celebrities live in a second unit, with the season streaming around the clock on JioHotstar.

Overview

  • The Nagarjuna-hosted season premiered on September 7 on JioHotstar and Star Maa.
  • Fifteen contestants entered the show—nine celebrities and six commoners—in the franchise’s first Telugu season to include non-celebrities.
  • The new double-house format places commoners as Owners in the main house and relegates celebrities as Tenants to a lesser-equipped second house.
  • Fresh promos show commoners assigning chores and Bigg Boss directing celebrities to vacate the main house, restricting their access without owners’ permission.
  • Episodes air on Star Maa at 9:30 pm on weekdays and 9 pm on weekends, and reports about contestant daily pay ranges have surfaced but remain unconfirmed.
