The future of two of India’s most-watched reality shows, Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi, has taken an unexpected turn. For years, viewers have tuned into Colors TV to witness Salman Khan’s sharp wit in Bigg Boss and Rohit Shetty’s adrenaline-packed challenges in Khatron Ke Khiladi. But things have shifted behind the scenes. What started as a rumored cancellation has now evolved into a major network shakeup.
Reports recently surfaced suggesting that both shows had been shelved. Many assumed the internal disputes had forced the producers to pull the plug on future seasons. Fans grew concerned as whispers of cancellation flooded social media. However, the latest development brings a different picture altogether. According to Screen, the shows aren’t ending but they’re changing homes.
The portal’s sources revealed that Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi will no longer air on Colors TV. Instead, they’re moving to Sony TV. This switch reportedly stems from ongoing creative differences between the original broadcaster and the production house. The source close to the matter added that the disagreement had been brewing for weeks. Eventually, the split became inevitable.
While nothing has been officially confirmed by the new network, the shows are still expected to return, just not right away. As per the report, Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 is likely to air around late September. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 19 is now tentatively scheduled for an end-of-October launch. Viewers waiting for the digital version of the show have also faced delays. Bigg Boss OTT, which was earlier expected in June, is now postponed and will most likely stream in July or August.
While many believed the shows were simply moving to a new platform, another report complicated the narrative. According to News18, Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 might not happen at all. Their insider shared that the team struggled to coordinate Rohit Shetty’s schedule. The source pointed out that locking down dates for the filmmaker had become a major hurdle. Due to this, the season may end up being canceled.
To understand the root of the confusion, one must look at the production side. Banijay Asia, the powerhouse behind both Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi, is said to have stepped away from the projects. The production house has reportedly ended its collaboration with Colors TV. The split, as mentioned by sources, took place quietly just two months ago. This decision came only two weeks before Colors announced their exit from the shows.
The fallout appears to be linked to internal issues within Banijay itself. As per reports, the company held 50 percent of the production stakes. Their decision to withdraw prompted a domino effect. Without Banijay in the picture, Colors had no choice but to let go of two of their most successful franchises.
While chaos brews behind the curtains, the anticipation remains the same. Whether on Colors or Sony, viewers still crave the thrill of stunts and the drama of confessions. All eyes now turn to Sony TV to see if it can carry the legacy forward.
