About Bigg Boss Malayalam

Bigg Boss Malayalam first accepted commoner entries in Season 5, when Gopika Gopi entered the show. In Season 6, they accepted Nandana, Nishana N, and Resmin Bai. It remains to be seen how many commoners will be allowed into the show, apart from celebrities, in Season 7. Ever since the first season of Bigg Boss Malayalam was telecast in 2018, Mohanlal has been the only host. The previous season aired from 10 March 2024 to 16 June 2024. Nineteen contestants took part in the show, featuring a mix of influencers, celebrities and noted personalities. Jinto Bodycraft won the season, and Arjun Syam Gopan was the first runner-up.

Mohanlal had a stellar 2025 with the releases of L2 Empuraan and Thudarum. He also recently starred in Kannappa. He will soon star in Sandeep Balakrishnan’s Hridayapoorvam and Nanda Kishore’s Vrushabha. He also has Mahesh Narayanan’s Patriot with Mammootty and Fahadh Faasil in the pipeline, apart from Jeetu Joseph’s Drishyam 3.
