It's Official: Kiccha Sudeep returns to Bigg Boss Kannada 12 as host, Signs on for four more seasons
In a major development for reality TV fans, Kannada superstar Kichcha Sudeep has officially announced his return as the host of Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 . The actor, who had earlier declared Season 11 as his final stint with the show, surprised fans and the media by confirming not just his comeback, but his commitment to host the next four consecutive seasons.
The announcement was made during a press conference held on June 30, 2025, putting to rest months of speculation about who would take over the hosting duties. Sudeep addressed the reasons behind his earlier departure, citing "creative differences" and unfulfilled ideas that led to his decision to step away.
The actor-host’s exit at the end of Season 11 in January 2025 had left fans disappointed and sparked debates online about who could fill his shoes. Known for his sharp one-liners, calm authority, and connect with contestants and audiences alike, Sudeep had become synonymous with the Kannada version of the franchise.
His decision to return has been met with excitement across social media platforms, with hashtags like #KichchaBackOnBBK and #BiggBossKannada12 trending soon after the press meet. Many fans hailed it as a "victory for viewers," while others praised Sudeep for upholding his principles and ensuring high-quality content.
This renewed partnership also marks a fresh chapter in the show's journey, with the production team reportedly incorporating several structural changes to enhance viewer engagement, many of which align with Sudeep's earlier suggestions.
With his comeback now official, anticipation around Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 is at an all-time high. The show is expected to premiere later this year, with a revamped format and, of course, Sudeep’s signature style back at the helm.
