Salman Khan is back to hosting Bigg Boss. In the first promo of Bigg Boss 18 released last week, only the actor's voice could be heard as he introduced this season's theme: Time Ka Tandav (the havoc of time).

What's in the new promo?

The promo starts with Salman, wearing a dark blue shirt and a black suit, standing on top of a ticking clock. He then says that the Bigg Boss logo eye has been witnessing and depicting only the present so far, but will now also lead us to the past and the future. Salman then goes through a time machine-like journey, with motifs like hourglasses, masks, and cameras passing by his side. He ends the promo by looking into the camera and repeating this season's theme: “Time ka Tandav.”

The Instagram caption of the promo posted by Colors TV states, “Iss baar ghar mein bhuchaal aayega, kyunki Bigg Boss mein Time Ka Taandav chaayega! (An earthquake will strike the house this time, because the havoc of time will dominate Bigg Boss) (hourglass and eye emojis).” The promo also announced the premier date of the new season – October 6 at 9 pm on both Colors TV and JioCinema.
