Salman Khan and Karan Johar
Come October 1, Salman Khan will return as the host of 'Bigg Boss 16'. While Munawar Faruqui is said to be confirmed for the controversial reality show, buzz is that several celebrities like Faisal Khan (Aamir Khan's brother) and Jannat Zubair have declined to sign up for it. Industry sources claim that there won't be an encore for Bigg Boss OTT, which debuted last year, with Karan Johar as the host. Sources attribute it to a reduced interest of sponsors, more so after the last season fell short of the expected revenue. That's not all, rumours are rife that instead of a fee hike, Salman has agreed to take a pay cut this time around, albeit reluctantly. Whether the Dabangg Khan can generate the necessary hype and lure in the sponsorships, remains to be seen in the coming days.
