Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 Starting Date
Yes, it's official: Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 is all set to premiere on September 28, 2025—mark your calendars, because Colors Kannada made the announcement with a special promo that dropped on host Kiccha Sudeep’s 52nd birthday.

This time, the return is more dramatic than ever, especially after Sudeep’s earlier goodbye at the Season 11 finale. He’s back (with style), and not just for one last dance—he’s committed to hosting four more seasons, so fans can relax and look forward to the next few years of never-ending drama and coffee-fuelled confessionals.
The promo itself was a love letter to Karnataka’s vibrant culture, flashing visuals of heritage spots before cutting to Sudeep sipping black coffee like a king surveying his empire.
Add a mysterious female narrator dropping hints about contestants and house secrets, and you’ve got maximum hype. If you watched it, you might’ve felt a little goosebumps mixed with nostalgia—Bigg Boss fever in its pure Kannada glory.
Now, about those shocking twists: this season’s launch was delayed by about three weeks to accommodate Sudeep’s film shoot for “Billa Ranga Baashaa.”
The actor himself confirmed at a June 30 press conference that “creative differences” had prompted his temporary step-away. He’s since patched things up with the production higher-ups and, in his own words, is happy with the direction the show is headed. Expect plenty of fresh energy—and maybe a few sly references to his time away—in the premiere episodes.

A Little Nostalgia (and What’s Next)
Season 11 wrapped in January 2025, running for a marathon 120 days—longest yet—and ended with wildcard entrant Hanumantha Lamani taking the trophy.
That wild ride seems set to continue, with fan communities already buzzing about who’s joining and what twists the producers might toss in. And yes, Sudeep’s emotional U-turn is still the talk of the town: if you’re a diehard fan, you probably forwarded half a dozen birthday-promo clips over WhatsApp already.

There’s fresh energy, more commitment from the host, and a renewed promise to stay true to Kannada identity while keeping things as sensational as ever.
