Both the stars have been roped in as anchors to double the fun quotient of the show.
There has been a great deal of speculation that a busy Sallu would be unable to host Bigg Boss 5 due to which Dutt would feature on the reality show.
But now the duo will be at it together.
Talking about his association with Bigg Boss Season-5, Salman Khan said, "I greatly enjoyed working on Bigg Boss' last season and received a lot of positive response from fans and well-wishers alike.
It's an exciting format that makes for compelling viewing and I am glad to be back for another season. I think it's a great move by COLORS to also sign-up Sanjay Dutt for Bigg Boss Season-5. It can only mean one thing for the viewers – more excitement and a differentiated appeal for this season."
Commenting on his television debut, Sanjay Dutt added, "I am extremely delighted that I am making my foray into television through a concept like Bigg Boss – a show that holds a nation's attention for more than 3 months." He further added, "I loved watching Salman host the last season...I thought he was mind-blowing with his sense-of-humor and inimitable style."
Bigg Boss Season 4 was a runaway hit as over 90 million viewers from across the country tuned in for the series, the finale episode itself generated a TVR of 6.7.
