The show ended on 3 June 2018.

The second season of the series premiered on 3 March 2019 on [[Asianet (TV channel)|Asianet]] channel.

== Controversy ==
Ramesh Pisharody's absence from the program for around a month led to a decrease in the show's popularity. The alternative host, Rajesh, falls short as a replacement for Pisharody, especially in bringing liveliness and engaging guests with humour rather than showering praise and epitomising them as beyond human which fails to ground with the Malayali audience. His absence or speculated termination was met with highly negative feedback through social media.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.metromatinee.com/news/absence-ramesh-pisharody-badai-bungalow-disappoints-audiences |title=Absence of Ramesh Pisharody in 'Badai Bungalow' disappoints audiences | Metromatinee |access-date=23 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161024024257/https://www.metromatinee.com/news/absence-ramesh-pisharody-badai-bungalow-disappoints-audiences |archive-date=24 October 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/radio-and-tv/ramesh-pisharodys-absencs-from-badai-bungalow-causes-uproar-on-social-media/article9251219.ece| title = Ramesh Pisharody's absence from 'Badai Bungalow' causes uproar on social media - The Hindu| website = [[The Hindu]]}}</ref> Though the main host of the show, Mukesh, said this was a temporary setback.

Rajesh, who was already popular as an anchor, later added a video featuring him with Mukesh, Pisharody, and Arya, clarifying this point. Later, Pisharody returned to the show, and the popularity increased again.
