The first season of Telugu version of popular reality show Bigg Boss went on air last year and it marked the television debut of actor Jr. NTR, who rocked in his new avatar. The Yamadonga actor was paid a whopping Rs 35 lakh per episode, according to the industry grapevine. That makes him the highest paid actor in the history of Telugu television, surpassing veterans like Akkineni Nagarjuna and Chiranjeevi. However, Jr Ntr has reportedly opted out of the show and is most likely to not host the second season which is slated go on air later this year.

According to a Deccan Chronicle report, “The actor is committed to two films — one with Trivikram and the other with SS Rajamouli. Both start one after another without a gap. He also has a few family commitments, so he has no time to do the reality show, and hence opted out,” says a source, adding that he took the decision on Thursday “after discussing it with his family members.”
