Bigg Boss is a real-time show, and we cannot take a risk. All contestants would be tested and quarantined before they enter the show.
The crew will also be tested every weekend. We have taken all precautions and planned accordingly, but in case someone falls sick, we would have to give cameras to contestants to shoot. It is going to be tough, but we are committed."
