New Game Mechanics Revealed for Big Boss 20’s Upcoming Season

Mumbai – The countdown to Big Boss 20 has intensified after the production house rolled out a fresh promotional trailer that teases a groundbreaking rule change. Titled “extra lifeline,” this feature promises participants an additional opportunity to stay in the competition, potentially reshaping the entire gameplay.

Salman Khan, who returns as the show's anchor, addressed the development in the video, stating that while the franchise routinely refreshes its format, this edition will alter not just the rules but also the contestants’ strategic approach. “Every season we evolve the game. This time, even the way you play will evolve. The lifeline may sound clear, but its real effect will only be visible inside the house,” he said.

The star also highlighted the launch details on his social media, noting, “A double‑life grant for all housemates. Big Boss starts on 6 September on Colors TV and streams on JioTV Hotstar.”

Visually, the promo begins with a high‑octane encounter between two ‘warriors’ in a gym‑like setting, building a tense mood. Salman makes a striking entrance, unveiling the season’s flagship twist – the extra lifeline that could be invoked when a contestant faces imminent eviction.

The mechanics behind the lifeline are still shrouded in mystery. It is unclear whether every participant receives it automatically, must accomplish a particular challenge, or will receive it at the host’s discretion. The audience awaits clarification on whether it will apply during nomination rounds, task completions, or as a surprise benefit.

Big Boss 20 will debut on 6 September, featuring Salman Khan as host. Episodes will be broadcast on Colors TV and made available for streaming on JioTV Hotstar.
