Omung Kumar and production designer Vanita Garud said in a statement, “The iconic house of Bigg Boss has turned into a majestical world where nothing is what it seems. This theme is special for us because it evokes thoughts of magic, escapism, and mystical creatures.”
They added, “The inspiration for a place like this allows for imagination and creativity to run wild. This house is reminiscent of a European ambience with masonry structures, vaulted ceilings, opulent arches, decorative flourishes on its columns, and precise symmetry. The idea was to transport the housemates to a far-off land of glitz, fun and enchantment. We hope the contestants immerse themselves in the world of dreams and wonder as they team up with the supreme overlord of this fantasyland.”
Elvish Yadav lifted the trophy of 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' and also created history by becoming the first wild card contestant to win the show. Rapper MC Stan was the winner of 'Bigg Boss 16' with Shiv Thakare and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary as runner-ups.
