ETV Bangla ropes in Mithun Chakraborty as host for Bigg Boss

MUMBAI: ETV Bangla is all geared up to entertain their viewers with one of India?s biggest reality TV show Bigg Boss. The show that took the nation by storm will now set foot in West Bengal, revolutionising entertainment with its perfect blend of reality and unscripted drama. While Bigg Boss will now speak in Bengali, actor Mithun Chakraborthy will be seen hosting the show, but in an all new avatar.

Produced by Endemol India, Bigg Boss is slated to go on air on ETV Bangla in the month of June.

Talking about his new role, Mithun Da (as he is fondly called) said, "Bigg Boss is a very intriguing format. To be a celebrity and to be under surveillance 24x7 on national camera is no easy task and it?s my honor to be the link between the Bigg Boss house and the outside world for my fellow friends of the industry. I look forward to starting the shoot for the show soon."
 
Endemol India CEO Deepak Dhar said, "Bigg Boss is based on a universal concept that has successfully appealed to audiences across markets. Adapting a cult show like Bigg Boss in a regional market helps us reach out to captive audiences who are eager to consume the programme in their preferred language. As the format of the show is non-scripted, one can expect nothing but the purest form of reality arising from unpredictable situations leading to a great viewing experience. We are certain that the Bangla version will be received with a lot of enthusiasm."
