Salman Khan looked visibly annoyed while facing paparazzi ahead of the Bigg Boss 20 premiere shoot. The 60-year-old actor and producer was filming on Friday, September 4, for the season that airs this Sunday.

Dressed in a cowboy-inspired outfit, Salman was caught telling someone off-camera that posing for pictures was not part of his job. He said he did not see the need to keep stepping in front of cameras. His exact words, shared in a clip by a paparazzi Instagram account, translated to saying it simply was not something he needed to do.

Even so, he did not turn his back on the photographers. He walked around and gave them a few candid shots despite his irritation. The paparazzi kept calling out for more pictures, prompting Salman to respond with a repeated “photos, photos, photos” while his team reminded him they were running late. He eventually paused for selfies with the group before heading off.

For the shoot, Salman fully embraced a rugged cowboy look. He wore a dark brown leather hat, matching boots and a silver belt buckle, paired with a T-shirt, vest and jeans. He also posted a carousel of pictures from the set on his own Instagram, captioning it simply with the show’s hashtag.

Bigg Boss 20 is set to premiere on September 6, airing on Colors TV and streaming on JioHotstar. Ahead of the launch, the makers gave fans a glimpse of this year’s house design, which draws inspiration from Alice in Wonderland. The space includes a shark-themed pool, an oversized pink teapot-shaped couch and a hot-air balloon seating corner.

Hosted once again by Salman Khan, this season is rumoured to bring in a mixed lineup of contestants. Names doing the rounds include Faissal Khan, brother of actor Aamir Khan, along with Kushal Tanwar, Yeda Yung, Mahhi Vij, Amrapali Dubey, Geeta Basra and Uditi Singh, among others expected to join the house.
