Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8: Bigg Boss Telugu, which is hosted by Nagarjuna Akkineni, began its latest season on Sunday night. He has hosted the show for six seasons running; the first two were hosted by Jr. NTR and Nani. 


In the new season, not only did players join the house in pairs, but there is also no captaincy or ration. Compared to past seasons, housemates won't just get their weekly ration or be given leadership, which excludes them from voting. In the house, 14 competitors will compete with one another and complete tasks for a bigger prize pool.


On the first day of Bigg Boss Telugu 8, actors Rana Daggubati, Nivetha Thomas, and director Vishwadev Rachakonda attended to promote their film ‘35: Chinna Katha Kaadu’, while Nani and Priyanka Mohan showed up to promote ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’.
