We officially have our five Bigg Boss Telugu season 9 finalists, with Nagarjuna Akkineni set to crown either Demon Pavan, Jabardasth Emmanuel, Kalyan Padala, Sanjana Galrani or Thanuja Puttaswamy the BBT9 winner on Sunday, December 21.
You can watch Bigg Boss Telugu season 9 online from anywhere with a VPN.
BBT9 finale: Sun, Dec 21 at 7pm IST |
Stream: Hotstar (India, UK, Canada) |
Kalyan was the first contestant to secure his place in the finale, and he's also the favorite for the Rs 50 lakh grand prize. The soldier memorably secured his place at the top table almost wholly thanks to Inti Guttu actor Rithu Chowdary's concerning inability to identify simple shapes, perform basic arithmetic, and follow a straightforward gameplan.
His closest rival is likely to be Muddha Mandaram actor Thanuja, who's countered Kalyan's everyman appeal by being the most rounded and compelling player, winning tasks, opening up and even crossing the line when she's felt she's needed to.
Rumor has it that Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi will stop by as part of his promotional tour for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad, and they might not be the only stars dropping by to say hello.
