With the launch date of Bigg Boss 11 inching closer, fans of the controversial reality show are getting curious to know more about the new season and its format.

While it has been reported that the theme of the eleventh season will be "neighbours" and contestants (both celebrities and commoners) will be divided into two houses, the latest reports reveal that the new season will have one of the biggest houses in the history of Bigg Boss.

While jail is not a new concept for the show, underground prison surely is.

Also, from the beginning of the show, a few participants will be kept in jail as secret contestants.
