Salman’s Chalet At 'Bigg Boss Nau' Gets Superhero Twist

Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 Oct, 2015 01:50 PM
  • Salman’s Chalet At 'Bigg Boss Nau' Gets Superhero Twist
Superstar Salman Khan will have a 'superhero' themed-chalet for "Bigg Boss Nau", which has been customised according to the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" actor's choices and requirements.
 
Strategically located next to the “Bigg Boss Nau” house, the chalet, which is designed by Subhajyoti Datta, will boast of many fascinating features like a sprawling living room, well-equipped kitchen and personalized bedroom.
 
“Home is where the heart is and I wanted to ensure that Salman Sir feels at home on 'Bigg Boss Nau' set. I wanted to fill the house with elements which encapsulate Salman’s endearing yet strong personality and that is how we came up with the superhero theme,” Datta said in a statement.
 
As soon as you step inside the chalet, there will be a large poster of Salman’s ‘Devil’ avatar from his movie "Kick" creating a strong visual of the actor’s many roles. 
 
The living room will be seen with impressions of various superhero characters like Superman, Spiderman, Ironman, Batman, and Hulk add to the allure of the room.
 
Salman’s bedroom will showcase a collage of pictures of cherished times spent with his family members, including his parents and siblings, over the years. 
 
The ninth edition of the controversial reality TV show “Bigg Boss” will air from Sunday.
 
 
SANS GADGETS, A SIX-HOUR LOCKDOWN INSIDE THE 'BIGG BOSS NAU' HOUSE
 
Viewers of the controversial reality TV show "Bigg Boss" are often told that the contestants have little, or, no contact with the outside world. A band of journalists found this to be true when the show's organisers put them in the locked-down house for over six hours to experience how the contestants will feel when they are cooped up for over 100 days.
 
Fourteen celebrity contestants, with different temperaments will be within the four walls and under the same roof and under the constant gaze of over 100 cameras as "Bigg Boss Nau" -- the ninth edition of the Indian version of the international reality TV show "Big Brother" - from Sunday on.
 
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will flag off the "Bigg Boss Nau" and its tagline "Double Trouble" leaves viewers guessing. 
 
The curious journalists flew down from New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai and marched into the double-gated set of the show in Lonavala, a hill station in the Western Ghats some 80 km from Mumbai. 
 
But first, they were made to surrender their cameras, phones, notebooks, pens, watches and were frisked by eagle-eyed crew members of the show.
 
Blindfolded, the journalists were escorted in pairs into the house and were asked to speak only in Hindi on the ornate premises, which is painted in a splatter of bright hues of blue and floral prints to keep with the spirit of the coming contest.
 
 
The chalet-styled house, where contestants of the ninth edition of the reality TV show will compete for the coveted trophy and prize money, was designed by "Mary Kom" director Omung Kumar, said Deepak Dhar, managing director of Endemol Shine India, the producers of "Bigg Boss Nau".
 
"Omung took four months to design the house... We love this because it's different from any other show. But in this show you can change the theme, house and element. We are spoilt for choice because we have about 50 countries where this show is running, and we meet most of the creative directors of those countries almost twice a year," Dhar told IANS.
 
The Yin and Yang pools punctuate the gardens, with lounging bed for sun-bathers. 
 
The balcony overlooks a lush green garden, with a purpose of accentuating courtship among the attending couples, while the living room contained a purple sofa, multi-coloured cushions and shaded chandeliers facing toward the "Me TV", a major prop in the show. 
 
The dining area stretched to an open kitchen but the most interesting part was the 14 multi-coloured seats attached to each other in pairs.
 
The 14-bed dormitory was in a pair of seven, facing a cheeky candy pink lounging sofa. 
 
 
At the back of the beds were bright coloured cushions pinned to the wall. A silhouette of a man holding a woman on the wall highlighted the romance factor, which is so prominent on the show.
 
Asked if the show will get any bolder than before, Dhar told IANS: "I can't really tell if it's going to be bolder or will it be tamer, that really depends on the house mates, on how they really project themselves." 
 
The "Bigg Boss Nau" bathroom is a distinct French "Moulin Rouge" experience with typical shades of red and blubs ringing the mirror to light up the participants as they prune themselves.
 
The journalists were served breakfast and then the commanding voice of "Big Boss" announced: "Nominations ki prakriya shuru hogayi hai (the process for nominations has begun)". 
 
Later, the journalists were called into the confession room to nominate two other fellow scribes.
 
Unexpectedly, journalists were also given tasks, as if we were the contestants. 
 
In pairs, the reporters had to hold footballs with one hand and walk forward and backwards as per instructions. The second task was to communicate through singing.
 
 
Finally, the voice of Bigg Boss asked the journalists to vacate the house in a group from its main entrance by 4.00 p.m. 
 
The six-hour experience left a sobering memory of camaraderie as it dawned upon us that one can live sans modern gadgets and lifestyle.
