Bigg Boss 18 to premiere on October 6. Watch new promo featuring host Salman Khan

The promo starts with Salman, wearing a dark blue shirt and a black suit, standing on top of a ticking clock. He then says that the Bigg Boss logo eye has been witnessing and depicting only the present so far, but will now also lead us to the past and the future. Salman then goes through a time machine-like journey, with motifs like hourglasses, masks, and cameras passing by his side. He ends the promo by looking into the camera and repeating this season's theme: “Time ka Tandav.”

The Instagram caption of the promo posted by Colors TV states, “Iss baar ghar mein bhuchaal aayega, kyunki Bigg Boss mein Time Ka Taandav chaayega! (An earthquake will strike the house this time, because the havoc of time will dominate Bigg Boss) (hourglass and eye emojis).” The promo also announced the premier date of the new season – October 6 at 9 pm on both Colors TV and JioCinema.

Salman will return to host the new season of Bigg Boss 18 after he gave the recent Bigg Boss OTT 3 a miss. His No Entry co-star Anil Kapoor stepped in as the host of that instalment, which was won by actor Sana Makbul. Salman last hosted Bigg Boss 17 last year, in which stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui emerged as the winner. Salman has been hosting the popular reality show, an adaptation of the American show Big Brother, ever since Bigg Boss 4 in 2010. He also hosted Bigg Boss OTT 2 on JioCinema, while the inaugural season was hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar.
