Filmmaker Karan Johar is set to take up the hosting duties of the upcoming reality show, Bigg Boss OTT, which will run for six weeks before the start of the television version of the fifteenth season. 

The OTT version of the series will premiere on Voot on August 8.  

"My mom and I are huge Bigg Boss fans and wouldn't miss it for a day. As a viewer, it keeps me hugely entertained with dollops of drama. For decades now, I have always enjoyed hosting shows and now with 'Bigg Boss OTT'... it will surely be over-the-top," says Karan.

The filmmaker also says that his mother, Hiroo Johar's dream has come true.

"Bigg Boss OTT' will undeniably have a lot more sensational and dramatic (content). I hope I can live up to the audience's and my friends' expectations, make Weekend Ka Vaar with the contestants an enjoyable affair in my own style and up the ante on the entertainment quotient. Wait for it!" signs off Karan.
