After Puri Jagannath brought Mike Tyson to India for Vijay Devarakonda's "Liger", Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, is set to continue the trend.
The makers have reportedly approached Tyson to appear as a guest for a week or ten days, generating excitement among fans. His role will be a special guest, not a contestant, if the deal is finalized.
Sources say negotiations with Tyson and his team are in advanced stages, including discussions about his fee, with his entry expected in October.
The show’s makers aim to boost appeal by featuring an international celebrity, following earlier successful appearances that added global attention to the reality series.
Bigg Boss has previously welcomed stars like Pamela Anderson.
Tyson’s presence will continue this tradition, drawing interest from both domestic and international audiences and keeping the excitement high for the season premiering on Colors TV and Jio Hotstar on August 24, 2025.
