It can now be revealed that the latest candidate approached by 'Bigg Boss' to fill the vacant position of the host, is Bollywood’s Ranveer Singh.
If confirmed, this will become the 'Lootera' star’s first big step into the very lucrative world of Indian television. Also, Salman Khan’s exit from the show is now almost certain.
Actor Ranbir Kapoor was earlier approached by the show, but talks fell through due to problems in money and available dates (mostly the money).
According to reports, Salman Khan was taking home a salary of Rs 5 crore per episode for season 7. Will Ranveer, with a bevy of new hits, ask for more?
After the success of Ram Leela and the critical acclaim he apparently earned with Lootera, Ranveer, according to the Bigg Boss bosses, is certainly the new heartthrob of youth.
Ranveer’s reps, however, are quiet about the deal.
“It’s too early to comment on these developments. Nothing has been finalised yet,” a close source from Colors said.
Ranveer himself has been unavailable for comment.
