Nagarjuna vehemently said that he doesn't like Bigg Boss concept and he hates to talk about it. But then, he decide to host the show, in the third season.
This made a troll stock but the actor is getting ready to face all the music and host the show.
To achieve his "Yes", StarMaa team and Bigg Boss makers had to shell out Rs. 12 crores it seems. Even though he said, "No" twice, they kept pestering him with bigger paychecks and finally, he agreed after some of his other conditions have also been met, it seems.
This is huge than what Jr. NTR got in the first season and 3 times more than what Nani made hosting the second season.
StarMaa did make a strategic calculation looking at how Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu first season performed and second season of Bigg Boss raked in TRPs to give him such amount and spend on the sets and celebrity contestants, it seems.
Well, Venkatesh, Vijay Devarakonda were also considered but their calculations and availability of dates, determined Nag as the perfect choice after Jr. NTR, who couldn't do it as he is busy with RRR.
Also, looking at how Nani couldn't balance the show in the second season, they wanted a senior hero, who gets respect from all involved to do the show, it seems.
