About Bigg Boss Tamil

Bigg Boss Tamil first premiered in 2017 with Kamal as the host. The actor held the position for the first seven seasons of the show. In 2024, Vijay took over as the reality TV show’s host in Season 8 after Kamal quit the show. Arav, Riythvika, Mugen Rao, Aari Arjunan, Raju Jeyamohan, Mohammed Azeem, Archana Ravichandran and Muthukumaran Jegatheesan have won the show’s previous seasons.

In 2022, the Tamil version of the show had an OTT spin-off called Bigg Boss Ultimate, hosted by Kamal and later Silambarasan TR. Seasons 2 and 8 also got Bigg Boss Fun Unlimited, a spin-off in which evicted contestants are interviewed. Bigg Boss Kondattam, which airs after every finale, has all the housemates come together for a special event. While fans are speculating who will be a part of the show this year, only time will tell.
