  • Can't Host 'Bigg Boss 8' From January 2015: Salman Khan
Superstar Salman Khan, who has been hosting the reality show "Bigg Boss 8" for the past several seasons, has confirmed that he won't be able to anchor the last four episodes of the show's "Weekend Ka Vaar" due to prior commitments with the makers of film "Bajrangi Bhaijaan".
 
He says filmmaker Farah Khan may step into his shoes.
 
"From January (2015), I'll get busy with 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. I'm shooting for that film in Rajasthan and up and down from there would be difficult for me.
 
"So, I won't be able to do the last four episodes (of the show)," Salman said on the sidelines of the Big Star Entertainment Awards 2014 here Thursday.
 
"I think Farah is doing those episodes," he added.
 
Directed by Kabir Khan, "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" also stars Kareena Kapoor and it will hit screens in mid-2015.
