Akkineni Nagarjuna is all set to host the third season of Telugu Bigg Boss. The makers took to their social media handle and shared the promo of the reality show.
As per the promo, this year the reality series will feature 14 contestants. Last year, however, there were 15 housemates who fought for the winning trophy.
While the show is garnering all the limelight, there is one additional reason which is adding to it and it is super actor Nagarjuna's whopping fee.
According to the latest report, Nagarjuna is reportedly charging Rs 12 lakh per episode.
The reports further claimed that Akkineni Nagarjuna had charged about Rs 7 lakh per episode for hosting Telugu version of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Meelo Evaru Koteswarudu.
The actor, who got the chance to host Bigg Boss Telugu, will be charging a whopping amount of Rs 12 lakh since the show has a wider audience and digital viewership.
The first season of Bigg Boss Telugu was hosted by Jr NTR, who reportedly charged Rs 10 lakh per episode and apparently the makers, too, were happy with the amount.
The host of the second season Nani was also paid a similar amount. However, the makers feel that the case here with Nagarjuna is different as the veteran actor also draws the mass audience.
