Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 to launch with ‘Heaven and Hell' theme? Here's what we know about the concept
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is gearing up for its premiere on August 3 with the tagline '7nte Pani,' potentially introducing a 'Heaven and Hell' concept. This format, previously seen in other language editions, divides the house into luxurious and challenging sections. Viewers may decide who enters each zone during the live premiere. The wait is nearly over for Bigg Boss Malayalam fans as Season 7 is all set to premiere on August 3 with the intriguing tagline '7nte Pani' (The Wrath of 7). Speculation is rife that this season will introduce a dramatic new twist, the 'Heaven and Hell' concept, a format previously seen in other language editions of the show. Though the makers remain tight-lipped, social media is buzzing with reports that the house will be divided into two starkly contrasting sections: Heaven, filled with luxury and comfort, and Hell, where basic survival will be a daily challenge. If confirmed, this will be the first time the Malayalam edition adopts such a concept, promising to add intense drama and emotional upheaval to the already explosive format. The 'Heaven and Hell' theme was first introduced in Bigg Boss Hindi Season 7 and later adapted as 'Swarga Naraga' in Bigg Boss Kannada Season 11.
