Pre show
Ahead of the launch of the thirteenth season, the makers introduced a pre-selection format titled Bigg Boss: Agniparikshe. The format was officially unveiled through a promotional teaser released on 4 August 2026.[5]
According to the announcement, Agniparikshe was designed as a talent-based selection process for commoner contestants before the main season began. Participants were expected to undergo multiple tasks, evaluations and screening rounds to secure a place inside the Bigg Boss Kannada house. The format was reported to be inspired by the Telugu spin-off Bigg Boss Agnipariksha, which previously served as a digital pre-show for selecting non-celebrity contestants in the Telugu version of the franchise. Colors Kannada announced the launch on 16 August 2026.
