About Bigg Boss Tamil

Bigg Boss Tamil first premiered in 2017 with Kamal Haasan as its iconic host. The veteran actor helmed the reality series for seven seasons before stepping away in 2024. Vijay Sethupathi took over the mantle in Season 8, marking a new chapter for the show.

Over the years, winners of the Tamil edition have included Arav, Riythvika, Mugen Rao, Aari Arjunan, Raju Jeyamohan, Mohammed Azeem, Archana Ravichandran and Muthukumaran Jegatheesan.

The franchise has also experimented with spin-offs. In 2022, Bigg Boss Ultimate streamed as an OTT-exclusive season, hosted initially by Kamal and later by Silambarasan TR. Seasons 2 and 8 introduced Bigg Boss Fun Unlimited, which featured interviews with evicted contestants, while Bigg Boss Kondattam airs after each finale, bringing all housemates together for a celebratory special.
