Season 13 will be hosted by Sudeep for the 13th consecutive year, continuing the long-running regional reality show's success in Karnataka. While some names are speculated for the contestant list, such as Nandagokula Yashwant, Sushmith Jain, Amogh Aaditya, and Aasiya Firdos, the selection will be partially determined by the commoner selection process called Bigg Boss Agnipariksha. This process, however, has sparked controversy due to fairness concerns.",
