Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 Full Contestant List Revealed with Mohanlal Back as Host
Overview of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 has kicked off with its most ambitious format yet. The reality series marks its seventh iteration on the Malayalam‑language version of the show, hosted once again by megastar Mohanlal. The season introduces new twists such as the “Race Star” badge, designed to spur rivalry and strategy from the very outset. Early reports indicate that tempers flared when contestant Aneesh accused Shanavas of playing a “cheap game” to seize the badge, setting the tone for what’s to come.
This edition carries a bold new tagline — “7nte Pani”, loosely translated as “the wrath of seven” — hinting at a season steeped in tests of endurance, alliances, and psychological battles.
Premiere Date & Broadcasting Platforms
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 officially premiered on Sunday, August 3 2025 at 7 PM IST on Asianet, with a dedicated 24×7 livestream on JioHotstar. Regular episodes are scheduled for 9:30 PM on weekdays and 9 PM on weekends.
The OTT release dovetailed with a broader wave of Malayalam entertainment launches in early August, positioning BBMS7 as the flagship offering of the season across platforms.
Mohanlal Returns as Host Once Again
Mohanlal continues his role as the face of Bigg Boss Malayalam, returning as the host for the seventh straight season. His presence has become synonymous with the show’s identity since its inception in 2018.
For the launch, he made a theatrical entry dressed in a sleek grey kurta and black mundu, of a look described by insiders as part of a refreshed avatar befitting the season’s intensity.
The Grand House and Featuring Theme
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 moves into a purpose‑built mansion at EVP Film City near Chennai— the first time the show has operated from a custom housetrack specially designed for it.
The set embraces an Indo‑Contemporary Fusion of Art aesthetic, blending traditional Kerala motifs with geometric patterns and modern furnishings. One standout feature is the “Panippura” (Room of Tasks), where contestants must strictly earn luxury and personal items through performance in weekly challenges.
