Bigg Boss Telugu 7 has been in the news over the rumour that Nandamuri Balakrishna will be hosting it. The 'Veera Simha Reddy' hosting the reality show will be a watershed moment in the history of Telugu TV.

It's learned that the 'Akhanda' actor is going to be paid a bomb by Star Maa and the producers of Bigg Boss for hosting the show. It's said that his remuneration is upwards of Rs 10 Cr.

The figure is truly huge. The humongous success of the OTT show 'Unstoppable' has meant that Balayya is one of the most talked-about Telugu stars of his generation these days. That's why the producers of Bigg Boss tried their best to onboard him by offering an irresistible amount as fee.

As for 'Veera Simha Reddy', the film is slated to hit the screens on January 12 next year. Thaman is its music director. Despite the terrific box-office run of 'Akhanda', Balayya didn't raise his fee for doing feature films by a large margin, the buzz goes.
