Production Theme Then theme of this year's Bigg Boss is "'A New chapter with Swarga and Naraka (Heaven and Hell)'" to celebrate the eleventh anniversary of Bigg Boss Kannada.
Eye logo The season featured an orange Fire and blue water themed eye logo. The orange fire and Blue water, represents the two parts of the house, Swarga (Heaven) and Narka (Hell). The pupil of the eye is mixed of the blend of both orange Fire and Blue water.
Contestants The show is sticking to the original format of the reality programme and it will have both celebrities and commoners who will be entering the house as contestants. However, in this season the contestants who entered the House were divided into two groups - one group of 7 contestants entering the naraka (Hell) section of the house and the other group of 10 contestants entering the swarga (Heaven) section of the house.
Host Kichcha Sudeep announced that he will be hosting Bigg Boss Kannada season 11 for the last time, stepping down after nearly 11 years of hosting. However, he took back his decision later and came back as the host for the next season.
Controversy The Oorganisers and the host of Bigg Boss season 11, received a police notice following a complaint about the violation of female contestants' privacy on the show. The notice was issued by Kumbalgodu police after the Karnataka State Women's Commission raised concerns about a controversial task in the house. Following this allegations, the concept of narka (Hell) and swarga (Heaven) was removed . The Narka (Hell) contestants have been relocated into standard house of Bigg Boss also known as Swarga (Heaven).
