**Deputy Chief Minister Advocates for Second Chance for ‘Bigg Boss Kannada’ After Studio Closure**

**BENGALURU – October 8, 2025** – Just a day after the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) shut down Vels Studio and Entertainment Ltd. (Jolly Wood Studios and Adventures), the production location for ‘Bigg Boss Kannada,’ Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has intervened, urging authorities to give the show’s producers an opportunity to rectify environmental violations and reopen the popular reality program.

The KSPCB ordered the closure of the studio, located in Bidadi Industrial Area in Bengaluru South District, due to non-compliance with environmental norms. This action halted the current season of “Bigg Boss Kannada” just ten days after its premiere.

Mr. Shivakumar, who had inaugurated the ‘Bigg Boss Kannada’ house, stated he contacted the KSPCB and the Deputy Commissioner to emphasize the importance of employment and investment in the region. “If there is a mistake on the makers’ side, they have to rectify it,” he stated. “Bigg Boss or any other entertainment shows are necessary. Private businesses should come and invest. If mistakes happen, they have to set it right, this is my suggestion.”

The studio closure has already impacted the broadcast of ‘Bigg Boss Kannada.’ Tuesday’s episode was shortened, and the makers were unable to broadcast a complete episode on Wednesday due to a lack of content.

Organizers are now hoping for legal clearance as early as Thursday, October 9th, 2025, to resume filming and broadcasting full episodes starting Friday, October 10th, 2025. The producers plan to take corrective measures to ensure compliance with all environmental regulations.
