Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12: Kichcha Sudeep will return as the host of Bigg Boss Kannada for the upcoming 12th season, much to the pleasure of the viewers. For those who are unaware, the Kannada actor made a public announcement last year that he would be leaving his position as host following the eleventh season. He was a crucial component of Bigg Boss Kannada's character for 11 seasons since he contributed an empathic presence to the show, always advising contestants and interacting with viewers.
Bigg Boss Kannada will be hosted by Kichcha Sudeep for four more seasons. The organisers made the announcement at a press conference on June 30, 2025. "The show must go on. We need to think from the perspective of the fans who loves me as the host of the show," the actor said.
Kichcha Sudeep has agreed to a new 4-year deal with the Bigg Boss Kannada producers. Sudeep would continue to host the show from season 12 to season 15, stated a report by OTT Play. Even while there was speculation that the Max actor would impose a number of requirements before returning to hosting, Kichcha Sudep has actually just made one significant requirement. "They wanted it to start at a certain date, and I have requested them to push it ahead by 3-4 weeks, as I am committed to trying and ensuring that I have a film release in 2025. Billa Ranga Baashaa is ongoing and another project will be announced shortly," claimed the report.
