JioCinema Premium is gearing up to launch the third season of India’s digital reality sensation, ‘Bigg Boss OTT’, starting June 21, which will be hosted by Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, the streamer yesterday said.

Sharing the news on its Instagram handle, JioCinema revealed, “Presenting ‘Anil Kapoor’ as the new host for Bigg Boss OTT 3!! From reigning on the big screen to now ruling the Bigg Boss house, Anil Kapoor is kuch extra khaas! Witness his magic in #BiggBossOTT3 starting 21 June, exclusively on JioCinema Premium.”

Expressing his excitement about hosting ‘Bigg Boss OTT’, Kapoor in a statement said, “‘Bigg Boss OTT’ and I are a dream team! We’re both young at heart; people often say – jokingly – that I’m reverse ageing, but Bigg Boss is – seriously- timeless. It feels a bit like going back to school, trying something new and exciting.

“Having said that, I’ve always approached all my projects with sincerity and a commitment to hard work and I’m going to bring that same energy (times 10!) to Bigg Boss! Unscripted reality has something for everyone – laughter, drama, and surprising twists, and I can’t wait to bring my own flavour to it!”
