Season chronology |
Bigg Boss 2 was the second season of the reality television series, Bigg Boss, and was hosted by Kamal Haasan.[1] The season had 17 housemates (including wildcard entries), and was filmed with 60 cameras.[2] It ran for 15 weeks (from 17 June to 30 September 2018),[3][4] and aired on Star Vijay weekdays from 9–10:30 am and 9–11:00 pm on weekends. Hotstar provided content not aired on television and provided Fun Unlimited, a parallel weekly programme. Hosted by Rio Raj, it humorously described events in the house.[5]
The first season's lavish house set, on the outskirts of Chennai at EVP Film City in Chembarambakkam, was renovated just before the start of this season. The renovated house included a "jail room" to increase the severity of punishment for contestant mistakes.[6][7][8][9]
The winner of Bigg Boss Tamil 2 was Riythvika, who won a trophy and a cash prize of ₹50 lakhs (₹5 million). Aishwarya Dutta was the runner-up, and the other finalists were Vijayalakshmi Agathiyan and Janani Iyer.[10]
This is the first season to have a female winner in the Bigg Boss Tamil franchise.
Thaadi Balaji and Shariq Hassan returned as contestants in Bigg Boss Ultimate (season 1).
