Mohanlal's stylist Shanti Krishna on his Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 premiere look: He will surprise everyone in a never-before-seen look this season
The countdown to the grand launch of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 has officially begun. While fans are buzzing with excitement over the potential housemates and upcoming tasks, there's another burning question on everyone's mind: what will superstar host
Mohanlal
be wearing for the premiere? We were just as curious, so we reached out to none other than Mohanlal's personal stylist, Shanti Krishna, with the same question.
'Well, I can't completely break the surprise, but one thing is certain — he'll carry the same elegance and charisma fans saw in the promo, perhaps even more,' hints Shanti Krishna in an exclusive chat with ETimes.
'Mohanlal sir will be seen in a never-before-seen look this season. With Season 7 bringing in a wave of changes, his wardrobe will reflect that transformation too,' she adds, teasing a stylish twist to the superstar's presence on the show.
Shanti is not only excited about the premiere but also overwhelmed by the positive response pouring in for Mohanlal's look in the promo. The heartthrob of the Malayali audience was seen sporting a striking black shirt and black mundu, a style that quickly caught everyone's attention. When asked about the much-talked-about look, Shanti revealed that the idea was hers.
'When promo director Mridul first shared the concept with us, the initial suggestion was to try a red and black shirt and mundu combination. But I wanted to push the look a bit further and suggested an all-black ensemble. Everyone instantly agreed. Without a doubt, he is the best when it comes to carrying a mundu look with such grace and style. Along with the freshness, it was a creative challenge too, presenting sir, who is usually seen in formal suits and jackets in

But thanks to a brilliant team and the charisma that only he possesses, everything came together perfectly,' the stylish shared.
When asked about Mohanlal's reaction upon being told about the costume choice, Shanti revealed that even the superstar was pleasantly surprised.
'When I told him about the costume, his first reaction was, 'Really, mundu?'' Shanti recalled with a laugh. 'But, as always, he carried it with utmost grace and elegance.
The look was custom-made — black mundus aren't commonly available in the market, so we specially handloomed it for this occasion. We paired it with a black linen shirt to keep it simple yet striking, and that's how the impactful Mohanlal look came together.
Though I've worked with him several times before, this was the first time I received such overwhelming appreciation. I'm absolutely thrilled,' Shanti shared.
So, here we are, counting down the days and eagerly awaiting the never-before-seen look of superstar Mohanlal for the grand premiere of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7. With a bold style twist, a touch of tradition, and the charisma only he can bring, fans are in for a visual treat as the curtain rises on another power-packed season.

Voice notes and audio memories: Instead of texting, record a heartfelt voice note. Or better yet, create an audio montage of your shared memories. Mixtape still is unbeatable when it comes to expressing what we feel for them and how important they are to us. What you can't put into words, use songs to convey those emotions! It's quirky, creative, and one-of-a-kind, and on top of that, tearworks guaranteed! DIY friendship band kit: You can always get them those store-bought friendship bands. Better yet, make them yourself. And in case you're thinking of a shared experience in an art and craft class—just the way you used to have back in school—create your own friendship band kits with your buddies. Or simply send them by post, paste a stamp for a retro but touching gift. Virtual game/movie night: If you think long-distance relationships are tough, try keeping up with a long-distance friendship. It's tougher. It's a train of wanting to see your best mates, yearning to go out for a cup of coffee with them, or take them shopping for books and clothes, and crying inconsolably because—thanks to the l-o-n-g distance—you can't. So, if you're apart and longing for some time together with your friends, host an online trivia game or play multiplayer games like Skribbl, Among Us, or Uno online. Or if you're in the mood to binge-watch some content online, plan away; FRIENDS is only a few clicks away!
