Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 opened with a vibrant and high-energy launch as iconic host Mohanlal returned for his seventh consecutive year, welcoming a fresh mix of 20 contestants into the Bigg Boss house. The grand premiere aired on Asianet and streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar, setting the tone for what promises to be one of the most unpredictable seasons to date.
The launch began with Mohanlal making a traditional yet striking entrance in a kurta and mundu, instantly commanding attention and signaling a cultural shift in how the show presents itself. After greeting viewers, he offered an exclusive tour of the redesigned house, featuring an expansive kitchen, elegant dining area, and newly styled bedrooms designed to reflect the personality of Season 7.
Among the confirmed contestants are popular names such as Appani Sarath, RJ Bincy, Binny Sebastian, Sarika, Aryan, Renu Sudhi, and Oneal Sabu. Actor-anchor Anumol and author-farmer Aneesh Tharayil were among the first to enter the house. The group includes entertainers, influencers, and creatives from across Kerala, each with their own story and strategy.
Adding an emotional layer to the premiere, former contestant Reneesha Rahiman made a surprise appearance and introduced a unique task that involved the housemates’ families. The task aimed to test their emotional resilience right from the start. Once completed, Mohanlal formally welcomed each contestant on stage before they entered the house, marking the official start of the competition.
As the excitement ramped up, the first major challenge was unveiled. Aryan emerged victorious, followed by Binny and Shanavas. Their win earned them special privileges, including full access to their luggage, while the remaining housemates were handed random items like sacks and mats. To reclaim their actual belongings, contestants will need to earn stars in upcoming tasks.
Mohanlal concluded the event by lighting a firecracker, replacing the traditional lamp-lighting ritual, and officially signifying the beginning of the season. The symbolic gesture matched the energy of the show’s new theme, which focuses on breaking tradition, raising emotional stakes, and testing contestants with unpredictable twists.
This season's premiere has already sparked widespread buzz across social media and Malayalam entertainment circles. Viewers have praised the fresh contestant lineup and Mohanlal’s magnetic presence, noting that the show continues to evolve without losing its original essence.
