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 were filmed. The 6000 square feet House was redesigned in the traditional architectural style of
Kerala. Along with all the facilities that were available in the first season, the major new addition was a jail room with an attached toilet for incarcerating housemates who violate the rules of the House. The essential facilities retained from the first season were the 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.
