Bigg Boss 3 has been the talk of the town, and of course with Big B himself having been roped in as host, the enthusiasm is double!!

The latest buzz making rounds is that big names from Bollywood, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Bajpai and Manyata Dutt have been approached by the channel and production house as inmates on the show.

Telly Buzz tried to dig in on this, and sent a text message to Manoj Bajpai who climbed the ladder of success thro' movies like Sathya and Shool. We got a text reply from him which exactly read, "No, I have not been approached, and cannot be part of it since I am not brave enough to bare my emotions in front of 30 cameras".

We also had a word with the popular actor Jackie Shroff. "No, I have not been approached, why will I be approached for Bigg Boss? Tell me that", was what he said.

We have also heard that Manyata Dutt has been getting offers from various production houses, and one of them happens to be Bigg Boss.

With so many names popping out, it will be interesting to see who makes it to the final lineup of inmates for the show!!
