Though Gautam was initially eliminated, he was brought back after Manikantha self-evicted. Since then, Gautam has drastically improved his game and gained considerable support, especially from other wild card entries. Over time, it became evident that the winner would come down to Gautam and Nikhil, adding a new level of excitement to the show.

Gautam is also in the top 2 race to win the title

Amid this rivalry, a campaign emerged among Telugu fans, claiming that Nikhil, being a Kannada contestant, should not win the title. This sentiment spread widely and reportedly influenced the game. However, insiders suggest that the show's makers are hesitant to crown Gautam as the winner, given that he entered the competition six weeks late and has seen much of the game unfold.

Additionally, Nikhil has been a consistent performer, has ties to Star Maa, and enjoys support from the makers. According to a reliable source, Nikhil is likely to win this season, with decisions already made behind the scenes. Rumors also indicate that even host Nagarjuna is not in favor of Gautam winning, despite his recent surge in votes. Fans of Nikhil can expect good news soon as the grand finale approaches.
