The fifth season of Bigg Boss Telugu will go on the air in the first week of September. As reported recently, 20 contestants are already put up in quarantine in two star hotels in Hyderabad.

Ahead of the reality show's telecast, a few interesting rumours are doing the rounds. Besides a star actress hosting the show for a week (last year, it was Samantha Akkineni), Bigg Boss this year might feature other interesting aspects. As per a rumour, some of the biggest names from the previous seasons will be brought in to add extra entertainment doses, if not glamour.

There are a few other ideas up the direction department's team. This year, Bigg Boss wants to be a bigger success. To be hosted by Akkineni Nagarjuna, the show wants to rule the TRP charts.

Anchor Ravi, '7 Arts' Sarayu, Anee Master, Natraj Master, Lobo, Manas, Uma Devi, Jaswanth Padala, Priyanka Singh, VJ Sunny, RJ Kajal, Siri Hanumanth, Shanmukh Jaswanth, Priya, Swetha Varma, Sriram Chandra, Lahari Sree, Sashi, Viswa and Swaroop are said to be the contestants.
