Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Mohanlal takes a dig at 'Pengalootty Card' ahead of grand premiere
The countdown to Malayalam Season 7 is on, and with just four days left for the grand premiere, the makers have taken a playful yet pointed approach to stir up buzz. By trolling some of the most controversial moments from previous seasons, the show's promotions are already making headlines. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After poking fun at former contestant Jaanmoni's infamous 'business class' comment, the latest teaser throws shade at the "brother-sister bonding strategy", specifically the now-viral "pengalootty card." In the teaser, four male contestants are shown doting on a female contestant, set to the classic sibling anthem 'Aniyathipravinu'. The mood quickly changes as host steps in, calling out the behavior and warning viewers that this season will not entertain emotional manipulation under the guise of sibling affection. He also refers to the 'paasam card,' another euphemism fans coined for contestants forming overly sentimental bonds to secure support and votes. This seems to be a direct reference to last season's contestants Sijo, Sai Krishnan, and Nandana, who were widely criticized for constantly portraying themselves as a 'family unit' inside the house, making strategic alliances based on this emotional dynamic. Here's Everything We Know About Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7: Rumored Theme: Hell & Heaven This season is expected to revolve around the concept of dual realities—Hell and Heaven. If the rumors are true, the house may be split into two contrasting sections representing chaos and comfort, adding a new psychological and strategic layer to the game. The contestants' behavior and performance may determine whether they reside in luxury or face harsh conditions. Tagline: "7nte Pani" (The Work of Seven) The show's tagline hints at drama, intensity, and unpredictability. '7nte Pani' suggests this will be a season driven by the actions and decisions of the seven central housemates—or possibly seven key events or tasks. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The cryptic phrasing has sparked theories among fans about symbolic storytelling or deeper twists in the game format. Location: New House Set in Chennai For the first time in Bigg Boss Malayalam history, the house has been constructed in Chennai in an exclusive space dedicated entirely to the Malayalam edition. Until now, the show shared sets with other regional versions. The move signifies the growing popularity and investment in the Malayalam franchise and could lead to a grander and more customized experience for both contestants and viewers. Rumored Contestants While the final list is yet to be confirmed, several names have already started doing the rounds. Among them are: Renu Sudhi, Kalabhavan Sarika, Shanavas Shanu and Oneal Sabu. More contestants, including commoners, are reportedly being finalized as part of the show's mixed-cast format. Contestant Entry Date: July 31 All selected contestants are expected to reach Chennai by July 31, a week before the official premiere. They will be quarantined and briefed before entering the house on Sunday, August 7.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 to launch with ‘Heaven and Hell' theme? Here's what we know about the concept
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is gearing up for its premiere on August 3 with the tagline '7nte Pani,' potentially introducing a 'Heaven and Hell' concept. This format, previously seen in other language editions, divides the house into luxurious and challenging sections. Viewers may decide who enters each zone during the live premiere. The wait is nearly over for Bigg Boss Malayalam fans as Season 7 is all set to premiere on August 3 with the intriguing tagline '7nte Pani' (The Wrath of 7). Speculation is rife that this season will introduce a dramatic new twist, the 'Heaven and Hell' concept, a format previously seen in other language editions of the show. Though the makers remain tight-lipped, social media is buzzing with reports that the house will be divided into two starkly contrasting sections: Heaven, filled with luxury and comfort, and Hell, where basic survival will be a daily challenge. If confirmed, this will be the first time the Malayalam edition adopts such a concept, promising to add intense drama and emotional upheaval to the already explosive format. The 'Heaven and Hell' theme was first introduced in Bigg Boss Hindi Season 7 and later adapted as 'Swarga Naraga' in Bigg Boss Kannada Season 11. In those versions, contestants were split into two groups, one enjoying privileges like a swimming pool, gym, kitchen, and comfy beds, while the others endured harsh conditions such as a single water tap, rough flooring, no kitchen, and minimal privacy. While the concept adds high stakes and heightened drama, it's not without controversy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo During Bigg Boss Kannada Season 11, the theme faced backlash over privacy concerns, especially involving female contestants housed in the Hell section. The Karnataka State Women's Commission filed a formal complaint citing violations of dignity and human rights. Following police intervention and public outcry, the theme was scrapped midway through the season. If the rumours are to be believed, in a fresh twist for Malayalam audiences, viewers will get to decide who enters Heaven and who is banished to Hell during the live premiere on August 3. Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is all set for its grand premiere next Sunday, and social media is abuzz with speculation about the celebrity contestants. Among the most talked-about names rumored to be entering the show are Renu Sudhi, Jishin Mohan, Anumol, Shanavas Shanu, Adhila, and Nora.
