According to a report in the Quint, the show makers have already found another perfect host in Akshay Kumar who has not less if not equal star power than the ‘Tubelight’ star. For years Salman Khan has tried to leave the show but couldn’t do it, the source said:
"Salman has been wanting to opt out from Bigg Boss for some years now. Every year he announces he won't do Bigg Boss as it impinges on his other commitments and makes a heavy demand on his time. But now he is seriously not keen to go on. Akshay Kumar with his huge connect with the masses is seen as the best replacement."
“But Colors (the channel that airs Bigg Boss) and Endemol (the show’s producers) are very keen to get Akshay. They will get him,” the source added.
