Leaving commoners out of the house isn't the only change this year. The makers have also shifted the show's sets from Lonavala to Goregaon Film City. Called the Bigg Boss museum, the vibrant house is created by art director Omung Kumar. The house boasts a 93 camera set-up to monitor the contestants' every move and a furry little pet, Fluffy, to keep them company.
