Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Mohanlal To Return As Host; New Season to Also Feature Members Of The Public
Bigg Boss Malayalam is back with a bang! After the smashing success of six seasons, the much-loved reality show is gearing up for its seventh edition, with superstar Mohanlal returning as the host. Known for his charismatic screen presence and no-nonsense persona, Mohanlal has been a consistent anchor of the show since its inception in 2018.
But this year, the makers have introduced an exciting twist—for the first time ever, Bigg Boss Malayalam will feature a mix of celebrities and commoners as contestants. The new format is expected to shake things up inside the house and offer viewers a fresh dynamic of drama, emotion, and entertainment.
The announcement was made by Asianet, the channel behind the show, which also released a promotional video explaining how aspiring participants from the general public can audition and become part of the iconic Bigg Boss house. While the official premiere date for Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is still under wraps, the update has already created a buzz among fans.
Mohanlal's anchoring remains one of the strongest pillars of the show's popularity. Whether it's his sharp observations, his ability to call out hypocrisy, or his warmth during emotionally charged episodes, the veteran actor's presence adds weight and gravitas to the show. His association with Bigg Boss Malayalam has become synonymous with its brand identity over the past seven years.
The previous season, which aired from March 10 to June 16, 2024, saw Jinto Bodycraft emerge as the winner, with Arjun Syam Gopan as the first runner-up. The contestant pool featured a mix of celebrities, influencers, and public figures.
Meanwhile, Mohanlal's career continues to thrive beyond television. He recently scored back-to-back hits with Thudarum and L2: Empuraan, and even won praise for his cameo in Kannappa. His upcoming projects include Patriot (directed by Mahesh Narayanan), Hridayapoorvam (by Sandeep Balakrishnan), and Vrushabha (directed by Nanda Kishore). Fans are also eagerly awaiting news on the third installment of the Drishyam franchise, where Mohanlal's portrayal of Georgekutty remains legendary.
With Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 pushing the envelope with its new format and Mohanlal returning to helm the show, this season promises to be one of the most thrilling yet.
