Exclusive buzz suggests Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 will feature a ‘Mayabazar’ (Market of Illusions) theme. From hidden rooms to AI-generated tasks, find out how the 10th season plans to confuse contestants.
As the dust settles on Season 9, the Bigg Boss Telugu team is reportedly gearing up for its most ambitious project yet. With the landmark 10th season scheduled for late 2026, insiders claim the makers are ditching standard formats for a mind-bending theme inspired by the Telugu classic Mayabazar (Market of Illusions).
Following the recent launch of rival reality show The 50, sources suggest Star Maa is pulling out all the stops to ensure Bigg Boss 10 remains the undisputed king of Telugu reality TV.
The Concept: “Nothing Is As It Seems”
If rumors are to be believed, the Season 10 house will be designed as a psychological labyrinth. Unlike previous seasons where the house layout was static, the Mayabazar theme implies a “shifting” house.
A source close to the production team hinted: “The 10th season isn’t just about physical tasks; it’s about mental endurance. The concept is ‘Bhrama’ (Illusion). Walls might move, doors might lead to nowhere, and what looks like a luxury room could turn into a jail overnight.”
Key Rumored Features of the ‘Mayabazar’ House
The Hall of Mirrors (Mitta Gadhi): Reports suggest the confession room will be replaced or augmented by a “Hall of Mirrors,” where contestants must face distorted reflections of themselves while making nominations. The twist? They might not know if they are speaking to Bigg Boss or an AI simulation.
Hidden Secret Rooms: While secret rooms are a staple of Bigg Boss, the Mayabazar theme allegedly features three concurrent secret rooms. Contestants “eliminated” might not leave the house but could be moved to a hidden corridor to manipulate the game from behind the scenes, mimicking the “invisible” nature of Ghatotkacha from the 1957 classic film.
The ‘Chaya’ (Shadow) Tasks: In a nod to the theme, tasks may be performed in near-darkness or using projection mapping technology to create false environments (e.g., making the floor look like lava or a deep pit).
Why the ‘Mayabazar’ Theme Now?
The choice of Mayabazar resonates deeply with Telugu pop culture, but it also serves a strategic purpose. With audiences complaining about “predictable” elimination patterns in Season 9, a theme based on illusion allows the makers to introduce twists that defy logic without breaking the rules.
Fan Theories Explode on X (Twitter)
The hashtag #BBT10Mayabazar has already started trending, with fans speculating on potential contestants. “If it’s Mayabazar, we need a host who can play Krishna! Nagarjuna sir is perfect, but will they bring Rana Daggubati for a cameo?” tweeted one fan. “Imagine a task where the food disappears like in the movie! That would be the ultimate torture,” joked another user.
When Will It Be Confirmed?
Official announcements are still months away, with the logo launch expected in June 2026. However, if these leaks hold water, Bigg Boss Telugu 10 promises to be a visual and psychological spectacle that blurs the line between reality and drama.
