The first promo, featuring Mohanlal hinting at an unpredictable season, premiered on February 4. The second promo, which premiered on February 11, features Mohanlal revealing that there will be four bedrooms in this season. On February 25, Asianet announced the show's launch date as March 10. Subsequently, on March 3, a promo revealed the identities of the two participating commoners.

In the countdown promo, show host Mohanlal reveals the theme of this season's ''Bigg Boss'', which is ഒന്ന് മാറ്റി പിടിച്ചാലോ! (Let's change things up!).

Eye logo

The eye logo this season has a metallic blue hue with a yellowish golden strike, which is similar to the colors used in the logo for the first season of the show. The specific shade of blue used in the logo is a dark, navy blue with a hint of green. The golden strike, with its lighter yellow colour, has the look of the number '6', akin to a fiery thunder.

Guest appearances

Bedroom allotment

This season's Bigg Boss house features four uniquely named bedrooms: the Den, the Nest, the Power Room, and the Tunnel. Each week, victors of specific tasks or those chosen by the Captain will gain entry to these rooms. Additionally, each room is tasked with specific responsibilities around the house.
Since team tasks ended in Week 11, bedroom allotment has also been discontinued.

The Power Room

The Power Room reigns supreme within the Bigg Boss house. Members of the other rooms must win the Power Room Tasks to secure a coveted spot within its walls. Those who dwell in the Power Room hold ultimate sway over the Bigg Boss house. This includes immunity from nominations, the ability to discipline rule-breakers, the power to directly nominate someone for eviction or jail, exemption from household chores, and a host of other privileges.
* Until Week 5, house captains could use the Power Room. But from Week 5 onwards, they're barred from it and aren't assigned to any room.
* Starting from Week 10, the concept of the 'Power Room' has been discontinued, and the room has been renamed the "People's Room".
