COLORS,
one of India’s leading Hindi General Entertainment Channels
today announced the launch of the new edition of its blockbuster reality
show – Bigg Boss Season6 ‘Alag Che’ (Different) that
makes it apt for cohesive viewing for the entire family. Keeping the
strategic shift in content and treatment, the show will be aired daily
at 9pm, from Sunday to Monday starting October 7, 2012 as a wholesome
family entertainer with Salman Khan delivering a parivarik punch. Speaking on the ‘alag’ factor this season, Salman Khan said, “Bigg
Boss Season6 will connect with the whole family this time – there will
be a lot of fun while watching the ‘nok-jhonk’ between housemates. Just
like every happy family that has different strokes for different folks,
Bigg Boss’ house will also have ‘alag’ personalities, along with their
quirks and eccentricities. So be ready with your family members to watch
these new twists and turns, whether sitting on the couch or while
you’re at your dinner table.”
Commenting on the launch of the show, Raj Nayak, CEO – COLORS said, “If
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is Dancing with the Stars, Bigg Boss is Camping with
the Stars. Every season we bring something innovative to the show and
to add, to the twist this season, we have opened the doors of the Bigg
Boss house to ‘aam aadmi’. Giving them direct access to celebrities and
their lifestyles, they will get a chance to rub shoulders with them and
emerge as stars in their own right thereafter.”
Speaking about the host of the show Salman Khan, who will be seen at the helm of things, he said,
“Salman Khan has a universal appeal – he is loved by everybody from a 7
year old to a 70-year old. So we are now bringing your favorite star to
your living room every week in an ‘alag’ avatar.”
With a tag line that promises to be ‘Alag Che’, this
season will be unlike any season before in more than one way! Bringing
in a new set of rules, surprises and elements, Bigg Boss Season6 comes
with a philosophy of keeping it clean and entertaining to ensure maximum
fun for the entire family. Any housemates that violate Bigg Boss’ rules
will be reprimanded to the PANIC ROOM, which is yet another ‘alag’
element this season.
Giving the audience something more to talk about, Bigg Boss Season6 – ‘Alag Che’ will not just be about celebrities who will enter Bigg Boss but also welcome with open arms, an ‘aam aadmi’. This
will give the viewers an opportunity to experience in the Bigg Boss
house from a common-man’s perspective! Making this season ‘alag’ from
the previous ones, Bigg Boss will have two charming houseguests – a
fish and a talking parrot to give company to the housemates. Combining
all this with the raw energy, intensity and an affable Salman Khan, this
season guarantees to take over dinner table conversations and make
people, sit, watch and talk about the Bigg Boss! Adding further, Manisha Sharma, Weekend Programming Head, COLORS said, “This
season, Bigg Boss will be the perfect mix of emotion, drama, fun and
entertainment. However, what won’t be changing is the fact that the
contestants will be devoid of what we consider normal in everyday life –
a phone, the TV, a wall clock etc and their reactions to being away
from all that they consider dear will cause pressure cooker situations
which will be interesting to watch. Evolving to exotic beings with the
parrot and the fish this year, we hope the show will be a perfect blend
of the common man’s views and stars with their starry tantrums”.
Talking about the new season, Deepak Dhar, Managing Director, Endemol India
said, “We have always thrived to innovate and raise the bar. Season
after season Bigg Boss has been the talk of town and to maintain the
same amount of fanfare we have incorporated a gamut of innovations and
new ideas based on our observations and learning from the Bigg Brother
Format world over. With the inclusion of the common man in the Bigg Boss
House, we will present a wholesome family entertainer to the viewers.”
Produced by Endemol India Private
Limited, Bigg Boss presents the unique combination of reality and real,
unscripted drama. It is the ultimate reality show where celebrities from
different walks of life are locked in a house, for 90 days – with 63
cameras following their every little move 24×7 and Bigg Boss, the
ultimate authority in the house who ensures that their stay is anything
but comfortable. With this season going cleaner, the Bigg Boss house
might just seem a little saner!
