Bigg Boss Bangla is all set to return after a long gap of 10 years and this time, it is cricketer Saurav Ganguly who will be hosting the third season of the show. A new promo for the show dropped on Wednesday, August 5. In the promo, as Sourav walks under the portraits of culturally significant Bengali icons like Rabindranath Tagore, Subhas Chandra Bose, Vivekananda and Jagdish Chandra Bose, he says, “There was a time when the whole world would think of Bengalis as a community of fearless fighters.”
He then walks into a cricket stadium watching a men’s cricket team celebrate their victory and says, “There’s no competition or prize that a Bengali hasn’t won.” This is followed by visuals of a concert, a racetrack and a courtroom as the voice-over continues, “Competition doesn’t make us weak, it prepares us. It’s time for Bengalis to roar again.”
Saurav then lands in a chopper in the middle of nowhere, with CGI horses running by his side, as he gets on a bike. He approaches a goth-looking mansion, with Bigg Boss hoardings all over it and says, “Now Bengalis will show how times have changed. And this is Bengali’s fight is to win the fortress. Because winning the fortress is not easy. As hard it is to get inside, staying in is even harder. And winning? Keep watching Bigg Boss to know more.” It is worth noting that the entire promo does not feature any women, while it features many men, aside from Ganguly. It also looks highly computer-generated.
