Bigg Boss Host and House Details
Veteran actor Mohanlal brings charisma and sharp commentary, and his stylist teased a striking debut look for this premiere. The production team introduced a lavish new house at EVP Film City in Chennai designed around an art‑inspired Indo‑Contemporary aesthetic. Features include a shared bedroom with glass walls, a Panippura task room, garden lounge, modern kitchen and a revamped Confession Room.
This season hosts 19 to 20 contestants from diverse backgrounds including actors, vloggers, influencers and creatives. Confirmed entries include:
Aneesh TA (author‑farmer), Anumol (actor‑anchor), Aryan Kathuria (actor‑model), Kalabhavan Sariga (comedian), Akbar Khan (singer), RJ Bincy (radio jockey), Oneal Sabu (lawyer/vlogger), Binny Sebastian (doctor‑turned actress), Appani Sarath (actor), Rena Fathima (fashion influencer), Sarika (media host), Nevin (fashion choreographer), Shaithya Santhosh (lawyer/content creator), Fathima Noora & Adhila Nasarin (LGBTQ couple), Abhisree (TV actress), Shanavas Shanu (TV actor).
A unique twist this season revolves around the Panippura room where contestants begin without personal belongings. They compete in early tasks to retrieve essentials. Aryan Kathuria, Binny Noobin and Shanavas won the first challenge and earned access to their items. The rest start from scratch, adding pressure from day one.
Daily preview scenes revealed rising tension early on. Sarath accused fellow housemate Renu of faking a headache, prompting sarcastic remarks from Akbar Khan calling it a “medical miracle”. That episode preview set a dramatic tone for what lies ahead.
Season 7 promises a bold shift. A powerful theme, mixed talents in the house and new structural twists aim to push contestants to perform under pressure. With Mohanlal steering the drama and India’s most lavish BB set so far. This season is shaping into a must‑watch drama for Malayalam viewers.
