Amitabh Bachchan is the Bigg Boss

The Big B of Bollywood will soon be the Bigg Boss. Amitabh Bachchan will be the ‘Pop Philosopher’ of Bigg Boss Season 3, and will appear on the show twice every week – on Fridays and Saturdays.

As the ‘Pop Philosopher’, Big B will bridge the gap between Bigg Boss participants and the viewers – by contextualising events, simplifying emotions and, most importantly, analysing developments that happen within the house.

“This is a show that has intrigued me immensely as a viewer – its format, its contestants and the psychological battle within the house,” said Amitabh Bachchan. “I am looking forward to my role that gives me the unique opportunity to help viewers decode emotions and comprehend simple philosophies of life [without getting philosophical].”

The show will be launched through a special music trailer with a song sung by Amitabh Bachchan and set to music by Vishal-Shekhar.
