Season chronology

The house is situated at EVP Film City in Chennai, where 17 contestants entered on day-1 and six joined later as wildcard entries. All housemates are public figures, such as film, television, music, radio, stage and internet personalities, and models. 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.

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.[1][2]

Production

The season two of the Malayalam-language version of Bigg Boss is produced by Endemol Shine India and telecast on Asianet.[10] In September 2019, it was confirmed that Mohanlal will return as the host for the second season as well and Asianet announced that season two would take off soon and asked viewers to suggest contestants to be featured on the show through their social media pages.[11] The season two comes with the tagline: Ini Valiya Kalikalumalla, Kalikal Vere Level (it's no longer just big games, now the games will go on its next level).[12][13] The newly designed eye logo was unveiled in November 2019, first promo for the show was also released on that month.[14][15][16][17][18]

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.[19][20] 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.[21]

Broadcast

The second season is telecast on Asianet, initially from Monday to Friday at 9.30 PM IST and at 9.00 PM IST on Saturdays and Sundays.[22] From 9 March 2020 onward, duration was extended and airing time changed to 9.00 PM on weekdays too.[23] Asianet also airs an aftershow BB Cafe hosted by Rajesh Keshav and Gopika. The show is available for streaming on the over-the-top platform Hotstar.[24] 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.[25] Additionally, the YouTube channel of Asianet also uploads short "UnCut" clips not broadcast on television and Hotstar. The 30-minute BB Cafe Live regularly reads live comments on YouTube and Facebook about each day's episodes.[26]
