The post-production crew

After the shooting, a post-production crew of another 100+ people takes charge of editing and polishing the footage as per the user’s taste and intrigue before it is ready to be aired. This whole crew and the post-production team work on a salaried and contractual basis, amounting to another 2 – 2.5 crore to the team.

The tasks

To make the Weekend ka Vaar entertaining much is spent on the adventure tasks involving props, which again vary in the range of 30 – 70 lakh depending upon the props used.

So if we add them up, a single episode of Bigg Boss 17 Weekend Ka Vaar costs around 15 – 17 crore! Yes, that much money to keep you entertained! However, all these amounts, except the fees of the contestants and the host, Salman Khan, are speculated. They might or might not be true. They might be as real or as unreal as the fights on the show!
