Bigg Boss 4 was the fourth season of the Tamil-Indian reality TV series Bigg Boss. Kamal Haasan returned as host of the show for the fourth time.[1] The show was launched on 4 October 2020 on Star Vijay and also available on Disney+ Hotstar.
The season's finale took place on 17 January 2021 with Aari Arujunan winning the Bigg Boss title with the highest number of voting percentage in the history of Bigg Boss Tamil franchise, whereas Balaji Murugadoss emerged as the first runner-up. Dabur Herbal Clove Toothpaste was the main sponsor for the fourth season.[2]
This season, the logo is a colorful eye with a pupil that resembles a compass, filled with multiple colours. Every season, the logo of the show is changed based on a particular theme. This theme has also been incorporated in the interiors of the house.
House
As with the past three seasons, the house is located at EVP FILM CITY in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The house has been completely renovated from Season 3. Rather than warm colours from the last season, this time, the house has been fully designed in vibrant shades with gaudy lights.
Rooms/Areas in the house include the confession room, living room, kitchen, dining room, store room, two attached bedrooms (along with an attached toilet in one of the rooms), bathroom, garden with some lounging areas, swimming pool (not in use this season), gym (removed), activity room and resting room (Bigg Boss Prison).
This season, however, remains as the only season in the Bigg Boss Tamil franchise to have not utilized the 'Secret Room' function, something which has been used in the past three seasons.
Airing
It was broadcast on the channel throughout the week at 09:30 PM from 4 October 2020 to 3 January 2021 and, it was broadcast on the channel throughout the weekdays at 10:00 PM and 09:30 PM at the weekends from 4 January 2021 to 17 January 2021.
Audience and guests
There was no in person audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they were connected via Zoom to see the Grand Launch and the Weekend episodes. Similarly, no guests appeared on Bigg Boss due to the COVID-19 situation. During the thirteenth week however, the parents of the contestants were allowed to come in-person to the house and meet their family members who were participating in the show after two weeks of quarantine.
Bigg Boss 4 voting
As Bigg Boss 4 online voting has begun, viewers can vote for their favorite contestant through Hotstar, or by giving a missed call. Voting is only open on Weekdays on Hotstar.[3][4]
