Auditions & Agniparikshe
Colors Kannada has pushed commoner auditions via a short video submission process. Selected hopefuls are expected to face Agniparikshe — a trial-by-fire selection format — before earning a place in Season 13.
Reports place the Agniparikshe / pre-stage activity in mid-August 2026, with the main Bigg Boss Kannada 13 premiere widely reported for 16 September 2026.
Why Season 13 matters
Sudeep remains the defining face of the Kannada franchise. With commoners entering a traditionally celebrity-heavy format, fans expect a sharper mix of drama, tasks and weekend episodes.
