The long suspense is finally coming to an end. In just a few hours from now, Bigg Boss Telugu 9: Ranarangam will go on air, officially kickstarting another season of high drama and entertainment. For weeks, speculation has been swirling across social media about who will step into the house this season. Now, as per the social media buzz, the probable list of contestants are as follows:
Bharani Shankar – TV Actor:
TV actor Bharani Shankar, known for his performance in serials like Seethamahalakshmi and Kumkuma Rekha, is expected to bring a calm but strong presence. With acting credits in Baahubali and Aaviri, his entry has the “family audience connect” factor. He is also rumoured to be a close aide of Mega brother Naga Babu, with whom he shared the TV screen in some serials.
Suman Shetty – Forgotten Comedian’s Comeback Card
Remember Suman Shetty’s hilarious roles in movies like Jayam and 7/G Brindavan colony? Once a household name for comic relief and Nandi award winner, Suman Shetty slowly disappeared from the big screen. Social media buzz says he’s walking in tonight, hoping Bigg Boss will be his second innings.
Ramu Rathod – The Folk Star with Millions of Fans
Folk sensation Ramu Rathode, who became popular with songs like “Ranu Mumbai Ki Ranu” and “Sommasilli poyinave chinni Ramulamma”, is said to be on the confirmed list. His songs are already viral and he has millions of fans for his songs.
Rithu Chowdary – Glamour Meets Controversy
From Jabardast to Instagram reels, Rithu Chowdary has both glamour and reach. Recently, her name made noise in a land scam controversy, which only adds spice to her entry. Social media circles are betting big on her as one of the season’s hot picks. Her boldness, as seen in some of the shows she hosted, should be an asset in Bigg Boss house.
Tanuja Gowda – The Serial Star Next Door
Popular with TV audiences for Mudda Mandaram and Andala Rakshasi, Tanuja Gowda is expected to strike a balance between glamour and strategy. Buzz suggests she could be one of the quieter but impactful contestants this season, given her fan base in the family audiences.
Jabardast Immanuel – Laughter Machine
Comedy timing expert Immanuel from Jabardast is almost confirmed. He left Jabardast and ETV sometime ago and joined MAA TV, and has been playing a key role in entertainment shows on MAA TV. Since then, many have predicted his entry into Bigg Boss house this season.
Shrasti Verma – Choreographer Turned Actress
She is a choreographer turned actress. She started her career assisting Jani Master and later became an actress and played a key role in Yatha Raja Thata Praja alongside Jani Master. With controversies already attached to her name, she could emerge as a “content machine” this season.
Asha Saini – Lux Papa Lux Papa Bigg Boss House ki Vastava
