Bigg Boss 12 Kannada To Go Off Air A Week After Premiere? Set Sealed By Karnataka State Pollution Control Board

The ongoing 12th season of Bigg Boss Kannada is in jeopardy as the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has ordered an immediate closure of the studio. The show, hosted by Kiccha Sudeep, which premiered on September 28, is currently on air, and new episodes are telecast every day. However, the pollution control board has flagged serious environmental violations by the studio in Bidadi in Bengaluru South district.

As per reports, the board has issued notices to Vels Studios and Entertainment Private Limited (Jolly Wood Studios & Adventures), instructing them to stop all activities on the premises with immediate effect. Speaking to ANI, a Member Secretary, KSPCB, stated that he is not in the know of Bigg Boss being shot at the premises.
