After all the buzz that superstar Shah Rukh Khan is going to host the next season of Bigg Boss, it is now confirmed that his arch rival Salman Khan has been roped in to replace megastar Amitabh Bachchan for the fourth season of the popular reality show.

Earlier, grapevine was rife that either Shah Rukh or Akshay Kumar are being zeroed in on as the Bigg Boss 4 host since Amitabh gave a nod to the upcoming season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, to be aired on Sony.
 
As both KBC 4 and Bigg Boss 4 are expected to break at the same time, it will be interesting to see how Bachcan and Khan manage to gain audience attention.

Khan-hosted Dus Ka Dum, on the backburner. Khan is currently busy promoting his new film Dabangg, in which he reinvents himself as a corrupt cop with a comic streak.

Bigg Boss is the Indian version of popular British reality show Big Brother. It has celebrity contestants locked in a house under the surveillance of multiple cameras for a period of three months without any contact with the outside world.

Its past three seasons were hosted by Arshad Warsi, Shilpa Shetty and Amitabh, respectively.
