Though the fourth season of Bigg Boss is around the corner the host for the show is far from being finalised. After hosting season 3 of Bigg Boss, Amitabh Bachchan will not be able to anchor the show again because the channel does not repeat hosts on this show.
Says a source, "Unfortunately the channel has a weird policy not to repeat hosts on Bigg Boss. Moreover, by the time the channel officials realised that it was difficult to get a replacement it was too late.
Big B had already committed himself to hosting season 4 of Kaun Banega Crorepati. So they consciously decided to look for another host."
The channel then started wooing Shah Rukh Khan since he is viewed as one of the very few people who can fill Big B's shoes.
But despite all their efforts, the channel's deal with King Khan has now fallen through.
Says the source, "The channel went all out to get Shah Rukh to host Bigg Boss 4. They even offered him a larger remuneration than Big B. But SRK could not agree to play host because of lack of time.
The dates for Bigg Boss 4 clashed with Shah Rukh's shooting schedule for Farhan Akhtar's Don 2 with Priyanka Chopra in Bali."
Channel sources confirm that SRK won't do Bigg Boss, as he will be shooting in Bali at that time.
The latest buzz is that the channel is now trying to get Akshay Kumar to play host on Bigg Boss 4. If he doesn't agree, the channel will opt for a non-film celebrity to host the show.
