Bigg Boss 7 among costliest Indian TV shows
At about Rs 1.2 crore an episode, the estimated cost of the show for this season is Rs 110-115 crore, second only to the Indian Premier League in the list of the costliest television properties. The show will be aired for 95 days — from September 15 to December 18.
This, however, is not the only big-budget TV show waiting to hit the screens. A day after Bigg Boss, audiences will be introduced to the latest adaptation of the epic Mahabharata, on Star Plus. The total cost of the show, commissioned for 120 episodes (until March 2014, five days a week) and produced at a cost of about Rs 80 lakh an episode, would come to Rs 95-100 crore for six months.
