Since Salman Khan has wanted to opt out of the reality TV show for years, producers are looking at Akshay Kumar as a viable alternative.

Akshay Kumar’s growing superstardom threatens to break new barriers. Reliable reports from sources insist that the Toilet: Ek Prem Katha star will take over Bigg Boss from Salman Khan for the forthcoming season of the much-watched show.

And if you are looking for a sensational squabble between the two superstars regarding the job on the hot seat, look elsewhere. Apparently, the transition from one superstar to the other is going to be very smooth.

Says the source, “Salman has wanted 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 massive demand on his time. But now he is seriously not keen to go on. Akshay, with his huge connect with the masses is the best replacement.”

While the nitty-gritties and details of the change are yet to emerge, it is evident that it won’t be easy to get Akshay on board.

“But Colors (the channel that airs Bigg Boss) and Endemol (the show’s producers) are very keen to get Akshay. They will get him,” says the source.

Well, all we can do is wait and watch.
