Here’s Why Location of Bigg Biss Season 13 Shifted From Lonavala to Mumbai

The sets of Bigg Boss season 13 will be shifted to Mumbai from Lonavla this year. Yes, the previous 12 seasons of Bigg Boss were shot in Lonavla but the makers of the show have decided to shoot this time in Mumbai’s Film City, reported SpotboyE. The reason behind this shifting could be Salman Khan’s hectic schedule or cost-cutting. According to reports, Bigg Boss season 13 will also be telecasted not only on Colors channel but also on Sony TV.

During the time of this season, Salman Khan will be busy shooting for Prabhudeva’s Dabangg 3 and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah. Salman Khan might not have wanted to travel to Lonavla from Mumbai amid his hectic schedule, which might lead makers to shift the location.

According to the rumours, there would not be any commoners in this season. It is confirmed by Omung Kumar the director of Bigg Boss that this season will have a new location and it is Mumbai. The director’s wife Vanita Kumar, who is the production designer of Bigg Boss and has been designing the set for last seven years consecutively.
