Latest promo of 'Big Boss' features Salman Khan's past and future in AI

As the buzz around Bigg Boss season 18 intensifies, a new promo featuring Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has added a fresh layer of intrigue.

Released ahead of the show's highly anticipated launch on October 6, the promo presents Salman Khan interacting with AI-generated versions of his younger and older selves in an entertaining and surreal exchange.

The promo begins with Salman Khan standing in front of two screens, each displaying digital recreations of him at different stages of life, one as a younger version and the other as an older, future version, as reported by Express news.

The AI-generated younger Salman opens the dialogue, asking, "Where are you?" to which present-day Salman Khan replies, "In the confession room."

The younger Salman, appearing a bit confused, presses further, "What confession are you making now? What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

A seemingly frustrated Salman retorts, "Ruk yaar. Na maine kuch kiya hai, na tune kuch kiya tha (Hold on, man. Neither of us did anything wrong). I didn’t expect to get annoyed just looking at my younger self."

The promo then takes a humorous turn when the AI-created older Salman, complete with grey hair and a beard, enters the conversation.

Delivering one of his iconic lines from the movie Dabangg, the older Salman teases, "Should I explain with love or a slap?" to which the present-day Salman Khan responds with a confused glance.

In the final scene, the older Salman announces that he's heading off to shoot a promo for Bigg Boss season 38.

Shocked, the real Salman asks, "Is Bigg Boss still going on in that season?" His future self responds curtly, leaving viewers with a hint of what's to come.

This unique promo has sparked excitement, blending AI Technology with Salman Khan’s enduring charm to offer fans a glimpse into the show’s futuristic and playful narrative.

As Salman Khan returns to host the reality show for its 18th season, fans are eager to see what new twists and turns this season will bring.

High expectations create tension for filmmakers

Previously, Indian filMMAker Nikkhil Advani shared his experience of working with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, shedding light on the high stakes that come with the actor’s involvement in films.

According to Advani, Khan becomes deeply disappointed if his movies fail to achieve massive box office success, particularly the INR 300 crore mark.

This immense pressure, Advani admitted, is a significant factor that discourages him from collaborating with Khan again.

Advani, who previously worked with Khan on films like Salaam-e-Ishq and Hero, explained that the financial expectations surrounding the star often limit a filmmaker’s creative freedom.

He revealed that the burden of producing a box office hit made it difficult for him to focus on telling stories he truly believed in.

"When you work with someone like Salman, it's not just about the film; it's about numbers, and that can be overwhelming," Advani noted.

Despite the challenges, the director also spoke warmly of his personal relationship with Khan, describing the actor as a "guardian angel" for the Bollywood industry.

Advani praised Khan for his generosity and unwavering support for those in need, emphasizing that beyond the pressures of box office expectations, Khan remains an incredible human being.
