Dressed as the captain, he climbs the stairs and takes charge of the flight, setting the tone for what viewers can expect from the upcoming season.“Turn on the flight mode. The game of unmasking the reality has just begun,” Sudeep declares, signalling the beginning of a journey where appearances may not always be what they seem.He then announces the flight as “Flight Number BB 13” and tells the contestants that while the journey may belong to them, the control will not necessarily be in their hands.“The journey might be yours, but from take-off to landing, nothing will be under your control,” he says as he takes off the flight. The promo then adds another interesting twist, with Sudeep pointing out that there is a different kind of joy in putting the remote aside and simply watching the drama unfold.The flight-themed promo appears to be more than just a creative announcement.
