One of Marathi television’s most celebrated and widely followed reality shows, ‘Bigg Boss Marathi’, is set to return with a brand-new season, promising high-voltage drama, fresh twists and larger-than-life entertainment.

The much-anticipated sixth season will premiere with a grand launch on January 11 at 8 pm on Colors Marathi and JioHotstar, and will air every night thereafter at the same time.

According to a press release issued by the channel, the upcoming season introduces a striking new theme, “The door will open & destiny’s game shall change!”, signalling a dramatic shift in gameplay and structure. The iconic Bigg Boss house has been redesigned with a completely new look and multiple doors, each carrying the potential to alter a contestant’s journey in unexpected ways.

Over a 100-day period, contestants will live under constant surveillance of more than 100 cameras, navigating intense tasks, shifting relationships, friendships, rivalries, emotional moments and strategic battles. Produced by Banijay Asia and EndemolShine India, the format once again promises a gripping social experiment that brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds under one roof.

A key highlight this season is the return of popular actor Riteish Deshmukh as host. Fondly known as Bhau, Deshmukh won praise last season for his candid, bold and empathetic hosting style. Balancing the roles of mentor, friend and critic, he is expected to once again guide contestants while holding up a mirror to their actions, all with his signature Maharashtrian flair.

Speaking about his return, Riteish Deshmukh said the new season brings a fresh challenge every day, with no one knowing which door might change whose destiny. He added that the real essence of the show lies in uncovering the hidden sides of contestants, and promised a season packed with chaos, emotions, drama and entertainment, describing Season 6 as bolder, more unpredictable and authentically Marathi.

Sumanta Bose, Head – Entertainment Business, Star Plus, Star Bharat and Star Utsav, East and West Cluster, JioStar, said ‘Bigg Boss Marathi’ has evolved into one of the strongest regional reality franchises in the country. He noted that while the show remains deeply rooted in Maharashtrian culture, it continues to deliver world-class entertainment, and that Season 6 raises the bar with sharper gameplay, a bold theme and Riteish Deshmukh’s strong connect with audiences.

Deepak Dhar, Founder and Group CEO, Banijay Asia and EndemolShine India, said the franchise has grown beyond a regional format to become a powerful cultural and emotional conversation. He highlighted that the new theme, “दार उघडणार, नशिबाचा गेम पालटणार!”, adds a compelling layer of unpredictability, deeply embedded in the house design, tasks and gameplay, making the season more immersive for viewers.

The show continues to attract strong brand partnerships, with Danube Properties and Santoor Soap as Co-Powered sponsors, MYK Laticrete Tile Adhesive, Pitambari Dishwash Gel, P. N. Gadgil and Sons, Gemini Cooking Oil and Cotton King as Special Partners, and Society Tea as the Associate Sponsor.

This season’s house, spread across 13,000 square feet, will host over 16 popular personalities. Designed as a strategic element rather than just a living space, the house’s multiple doors are positioned as game-changers, hiding challenges, surprises and moments that could alter destinies. With weekly nominations and evictions based on votes from contestants and audiences, only one will survive till the end to lift the ‘Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6’ trophy.
