The house was situated at EVP Film City in Chennai, where 17 contestants entered on Day 1 and six joined later as wildcard entries.

The winner of the season will receive a flat worth ₹5 million (₹50 lakh) along with a trophy. The show aired daily at 9:00 pm IST. The second season introduced an aftershow titled BB Cafe.

House[]

The House for the first season of Bigg Boss was built at Goregaon Film City, Mumbai. Since season 13 of Hindi Bigg Boss was ongoing at the location, the location has to be shifted to EVP Film City, Chennai, where the first three seasons of Bigg Boss Tamil was filmed.^[12][13] The 6000 square feet House was redesigned in the traditional architectural style of Kerala. Along with all the facilities that was available in the first season, the major new addition was a jail room with attached toilet for incarcerating housemates who violate the rules of the House. The essential facilities retained from the first season was dining area, living area, store room, kitchen, two bedrooms with eight beds, washroom, TV, swimming pool, confession room for interacting with Bigg Boss (voice), and smoke room for smokers.^[14]

The show is available for streaming on the over-the-top platform Hotstar.^[17] It is aired in two parts—Bigg Boss and Bigg Boss Plus. Hotstar may or may not contain few bits aired on television at the original airing time.^[18] Additionally, the YouTube channel of Asianet also uploads short "UnCut" clips not broadcast on television and Hotstar.

Cancellation[]

On 17 March 2020, Endemol Shine India announced that they are voluntarily suspending all their administrative and production departments until further notice due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, for minimizing the spread and to comply with the safety and precautionary measures suggested by the government. It is also in the wake of decision by Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and Indian Film & Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) to hold shootings of film, TV shows and web series from 19 March to 31 March 2020.^[21][22] As of 2020, this was the fourth season overall in the Big Brother franchise to have a season discontinued without a winner, following Arab world's Big Brother: The Boss, Serbia's second season of Veliki Brat, and Canada's eighth Big Brother; while the latter also ceasing production for the same reason due to the pandemic, the first two were not caused by the pandemic (Arab world was due to a religious controversy, and Serbia was due to the deaths of the HouseGuests during an official event). The upcoming American version was repurposed into an All Stars event and delayed.
