There is one interesting detail about this new format that has been made known to us in a recent teaser.
According to Karan Johar, who would be hosting the show on Voot, not only is there a change in the wardrobe and the tasks as we know them, there is also a change in the way the contestants will be punished.

The show will launch on the OTT platform ahead of its television premiere. The first six weeks of the six-month run of Bigg Boss 15 is called BB OTT. The second phase would be hosted, as it famously is, by Salman Khan.
