Salman Khan's reality show 'Bigg Boss 20' is set to premiere exactly one month from today, on September 6. In a recently released teaser, Salman Khan stated, "What happened in *Karan Arjun* will happen again..." This sparked speculation about why he specifically referenced *Karan Arjun*.

Interestingly, this film has been linked to *Bigg Boss* before. In 2015, while promoting the movie *Dilwale*, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan shared the *Bigg Boss 9* stage and recreated memorable moments from their hit film *Karan Arjun*.

**Work Underway on a 'Rebirth' Theme**

A source associated with the show has revealed to *Amar Ujala* that the reference to *Karan Arjun* this time isn't limited to just a single line of dialogue; it could actually be the central concept for the entire season. The makers are developing the 20th season around the theme of 'rebirth' (punarjanm), and the season's planning revolves around this idea. However, there has been no official confirmation of these claims yet.

**First Twist: Will Shah Rukh and Salman Come Together?**
According to reports, the makers are planning a special episode for the season. They are aiming to bring Shah Rukh and Salman together on the *Bigg Boss* stage once again. The duo might appear together in a special episode. There is also speculation that a major announcement regarding Shah Rukh's film *King* could be made from this very platform.

**Second Twist: Old Contestants to Get a 'Second Chance'**
This season might see the return of several former, popular contestants—faces who grabbed headlines in previous seasons but missed out on the trophy or whose journeys remained incomplete. The plan isn't just for their return; the intention is to give them a 'second chance.' 

Third Twist: Will Neha Kakkar and Yusuf Pathan Participate?
According to sources, the 'rebirth' theme won't be limited to just returning players; this concept is also influencing the selection of contestants. Preliminary discussions have brought up the names of singer Neha Kakkar and cricketer Yusuf Pathan. It is believed that this could mark a fresh start for Neha, while for Yusuf Pathan, it could be an opportunity to carve out a new identity beyond cricket. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding these names.

Fourth Twist: The House Could Split into Two Factions
The plan is to divide the contestants into two major groups right from the start. This could lead to intensified gameplay, factionalism, and clashes as early as the first week, setting the stage for a battle within the house from the very beginning.

Will Old Tasks and Memorable Moments Return?
It’s not just the old players making a comeback; there are plans to revive popular tasks and memorable moments from previous seasons as well. The makers aim to offer the audience a blend of nostalgia and fresh twists.

Have 'Lock Upp' and 'The Traitors' Raised the Stakes?
The reality show landscape has shifted significantly in recent years. Shows like 'Lock Upp', 'The Traitors', 'The Alliance', and 'The 50' have successfully captured audience attention through strategy, factionalism, deception, and controversy.
Consequently, relying solely on celebrity contestants to generate buzz is no longer enough. This is why the makers are reportedly focusing heavily on the show's concept and presentation this time around.

A 100-Day Game with Suspense Until the Final Week
The show is set to run for approximately 100 days, with the finale planned for the last week of December. The identities of the contestants will be kept under wraps until the very last moment.
Final contracts with the chosen contestants are typically signed just eight days prior to the premiere. It is only after this that their names receive official approval.
