As per reports, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's shoot schedule might not allow him to host reality show Bigg Boss OTT Season 3.
Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that popular celebrities like Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, and Karan Johar are approached to host Bigg Boss OTT as Salman Khan faces availability issues.
While there's a lot of public demand for Salman Khan to be retained as the host of Bigg Boss OTT 3.
A source close to the project revealed:
"Salman Khan is facing date issues, however, makers are keen on having him onboard. In case, Khan's schedule didn't work out, makers have approached Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, and Karan Johar to host the show."
A little birdie has informed that Johar is probably busy with shooting and is yet to meet the makers of the show. Meanwhile, Anil Kapoor's meeting also stands pending, while Sanjay Dutt might meet them soon.
